About EMPIRE PARADİSE
The keys exist today: Empire Paradise is built and ready to move into, so there is no construction period to sit through before you have the apartment.
Empire Paradise is a completed residential project of five blocks of eight floors in Avcılar, on the European side of Istanbul, developed by Empire A.Ş. and looking out over Küçükçekmece Lake. The apartments are ready to move into, and they run from 1+1 through to 4+1 duplexes and garden-floor apartments.
You are not waiting for this one. The blocks are up, the terrace floor is finished, and the Tapu (title deed) is registered in your name at the Land Registry when the sale completes.
Each of the five blocks is entered separately rather than through one shared lobby, and 2,160 m² of the site is given over to landscaped grounds.
- The lake is the view: the blocks look out over Küçükçekmece Lake, on the western approach to Istanbul.
- A roof you can actually live on: a semi-olympic outdoor swimming pool runs along the terrace floor with cafés beside it.
- Room for every household size: 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 layouts, with the smallest published plan a 1+1 at 51.30 m² gross and the largest single-floor plan 180.12 m² gross and 118.15 m² net.
- Ground worth walking on: 2,160 m² of landscaped grounds, with each of the five blocks entered separately rather than through one shared lobby.
- The wellness floor comes with the apartment: a fitness centre, a hamam (Turkish bath), a sauna and a jacuzzi, alongside a social facility, reception and 24-hour security.
Location & Connectivity
Avcılar sits on the western approach to Istanbul, on the European side, and the blocks look east across Küçükçekmece Lake. It is a lake district rather than a Bosphorus one, and the open water is what the apartments are oriented towards.
The Metrobüs, Istanbul's bus rapid transit line, runs from Avcılar into the centre of the city. University campuses are five minutes away, and İstanbul Airport is forty minutes on the same side of the city, so you are not crossing a bridge to catch a flight.
Everyday errands stay in the neighbourhood. The Avcılar sports complex, Pelican Mall and Avcılar Anadolu Hospital all sit in the surrounding district, with schools and restaurants alongside them.

Residences & Layouts
Layouts run 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 across five blocks of eight floors. The 4+1 apartments are duplexes arranged over two levels, and the lower levels carry garden-floor apartments with their own terrace and garden.
The developer's own floor plans measure every apartment they cover, and the figures are worth reading before you choose. The smallest published plan is a 1+1 at 51.30 m² gross and 27.90 m² net, and a typical 2+1 is 74.43 m² gross and 42.36 m² net with a 2.80 m² balcony.
Size does not follow the room count in a straight line here. The published 3+1 is 102.38 m² gross and 60.29 m² net, while the largest single-floor plan is a 2+1 with a separate kitchen at 180.12 m² gross and 118.15 m² net.
The duplexes are drawn across two sheets, so their totals are quoted per apartment rather than as a single published figure. Tell us the room count, the floor and the aspect you want, and we will send you the plan and the exact areas of what is available.

Amenities & Lifestyle
The terrace floor is where this project spends its money. A semi-olympic outdoor swimming pool runs along it with cafés beside it, looking out over the rooftops towards the water.
The wellness rooms come with the apartment rather than with a membership somewhere else. There is a fitness centre, a hamam (Turkish bath), a sauna and a jacuzzi, together with a social facility for residents.
The daily comforts are covered too. Reception and 24-hour security run the entrance, smart home systems are fitted in the apartments, and there is a car park on site.
Outside, 2,160 m² of landscaped grounds sit between and around the blocks, so the walk from the car to the door goes past planting rather than tarmac.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
Buying something that already exists changes what you are buying. There is no construction period to sit through, no delivery date to track, and you can walk the actual apartment and the actual terrace floor before you decide.
Ownership passes by Tapu, registered in your name at the Land Registry when the sale completes. We check the Tapu at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the position on your specific apartment is clear before you commit.
Whether an apartment at Empire Paradise reaches the threshold for Turkish citizenship depends on its price against the figure set in law, and that is decided apartment by apartment rather than project by project. Ask us about the one you are considering and we will tell you exactly where it stands.
Prices here are set apartment by apartment, because the block, the floor, the aspect and the layout all move the figure. Tell us the layout you want and we will come back with what is available, the price of that named apartment in writing, and the payment terms attached to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Empire Paradise located?
Empire Paradise is in the Avcılar district of Istanbul, Türkiye, on the European side, and the blocks look out over Küçükçekmece Lake. The Metrobüs line, Istanbul's bus rapid transit route, runs from Avcılar into the centre of the city, university campuses are five minutes away and İstanbul Airport is forty minutes on the same side of the city. The Avcılar sports complex, Pelican Mall and Avcılar Anadolu Hospital all sit in the surrounding neighbourhood.
Is Empire Paradise ready to move into?
Yes. Empire Paradise is a completed project of five blocks of eight floors, and the apartments are ready to move into rather than off-plan, so there is no construction period between the purchase and the keys. Tell us which apartment you are considering and we will confirm its exact state and the handover arrangements in writing before you commit to anything.
What apartment types and sizes does Empire Paradise offer?
Empire Paradise has 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 layouts, with the 4+1 apartments arranged as duplexes over two levels and garden-floor apartments on the lower levels. The developer's own floor plans measure each apartment: the smallest published plan is a 1+1 at 51.30 m² gross and 27.90 m² net, a typical 2+1 is 74.43 m² gross and 42.36 m² net with a 2.80 m² balcony, and the published 3+1 is 102.38 m² gross and 60.29 m² net. The largest single-floor plan is 180.12 m² gross and 118.15 m² net, and because the duplexes are drawn across two floors their totals are given per apartment.
What facilities does Empire Paradise have?
The terrace floor of Empire Paradise carries a semi-olympic outdoor swimming pool with cafés alongside it. Below that there is a fitness centre, a hamam (Turkish bath), a sauna and a jacuzzi, together with a social facility for residents. The project also has 2,160 m² of landscaped grounds, a car park, reception, 24-hour security and smart home systems in the apartments.
Who is the developer of Empire Paradise?
Empire Paradise is developed by Empire A.Ş., which lists the project on its own website alongside its other Istanbul developments. Empire A.Ş. is a private company rather than a listed real-estate investment trust, so there are no public capital-markets filings to read behind it, and we tell you what we can source rather than what we assume. If the identity of the contracting company matters to your decision, ask us and we will put in writing exactly what our file supports.
What is the view from Empire Paradise?
The apartments at Empire Paradise look out over Küçükçekmece Lake, the large lake on the western edge of Istanbul's European side, with the city spreading out beyond it. The outlook differs by block, by floor and by aspect, which is why a high floor facing the water is a different apartment from a low one facing the road. Tell us which way you want to face and we will tell you what is available on that side.
How much does an apartment at Empire Paradise cost?
Prices at Empire Paradise are set apartment by apartment, because the block, the floor, the aspect and the layout all move the figure, and the published plans run from a 51.30 m² gross 1+1 up to duplexes measured over two floors. We do not publish a figure we cannot stand behind, so our team confirms the current price of a named apartment in writing when you enquire, along with the payment terms attached to it.
Can foreigners buy at Empire Paradise and get a title deed?
Foreign buyers can own property in Avcılar, and ownership at Empire Paradise passes by Tapu (title deed) registered in your name at the Land Registry when the sale completes. We check the Tapu at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the ownership position on your specific apartment is clear before you commit. Whether that apartment also reaches the threshold for Turkish citizenship depends on its price against the figure set in law, so ask us about the one you are considering and we will tell you where it stands.
