Ready to Move Apartments in Başakşehir, Istanbul, Turkey

Avrupa Konutları Başakşehir stands in the Kayabaşı neighbourhood of Başakşehir, on the European side of Istanbul, Türkiye. Başakşehir Kent Meydanı, the 60,000 m² city square that Artaş describes as twice the size of Taksim Square, lies about 0.6 km away, and the Çam ve Sakura City Hospital campus about 2.3 km. Artaş and Emlak Konut both describe the project as neighbouring the Sağlık Kent health campus, the city square and the 368,000 m² Şehir Parkı, and as within walking distance of schools.

Yes. Avrupa Konutları Başakşehir is ready to move, delivered in 2017 and lived in ever since, and Artaş lists it on its own index of completed projects. The build ran to a 15 month programme, and the photographs on this page show the finished blocks, the lit water axis and the planted grounds as they stand. You can walk the grounds and see the apartment you are buying rather than a drawing of it.

Avrupa Konutları Başakşehir holds 941 residences and 27 commercial units across eleven blocks, which Emlak Konut GYO records as 968 independent sections in total. The blocks sit on three parcels covering 72,706 m² of land and carrying 244,325 m² of construction area. Four fifths of that site is designed as landscaped area, which is why the blocks read as widely spaced rather than packed.

The project was built for families, and the plans show it. Emlak Konut GYO publishes four types with a starting size for each: 2+1 apartments from 124 m², 3+1 from 162 m², 4+1 from 200 m² and 5+1 from 277 m². Those figures are the opening size of each type rather than a fixed area, so the apartment you choose is measured on its own plan and we confirm its area in writing.

Two social facilities serve the project, laid out separately for women and men, and between them they hold four indoor swimming pools, four children's pools, four fitness centres, four hamams, four saunas and four steam rooms. Outside there are ornamental pools totalling 4,500 m² lit after dark, children's playgrounds, viewing terraces, rest areas and walking paths, with 27 shops on site for daily errands. The park immediately beside the project adds football, basketball and volleyball pitches and tennis courts.

Avrupa Konutları Başakşehir was built by Artaş İnşaat, the company behind the Avrupa Konutları brand, under the revenue sharing model of Emlak Konut GYO, the listed property company of the state housing administration TOKİ. The architect of record is SPDO Mimarlık under Sabri Paşayiğit, with structural design by Dumanoğlu Mühendislik, mechanical design by Ersa Mühendislik and electrical design by Elektra Mühendislik. Emlak Konut GYO keeps the project on its own project register, which is where the residence and section counts on this page come from.

The specification Emlak Konut GYO published with the project covers the whole site. Blocks carry external thermal insulation and double glazing with a heat control coating, central cascade heating with heat costs shared by calorimeter, addressable fire detection with a sprinkler network and pump station, and generators sized to give the residential blocks full backup power. Security runs on a closed circuit camera system monitored and recorded around the clock, with controlled vehicle entry at the gates and closed car parks inside.

Prices at Avrupa Konutları Başakşehir are settled apartment by apartment, because the block, the floor, the aspect and the layout all move the figure in a project of 941 residences. This is a resale market rather than a developer release, so what is available changes week by week. Tell us the layout and the floor you want and we will come back with what is on the market, the price in writing, the Tapu (title deed) position checked at the Land Registry, and the Turkish citizenship position for that specific apartment.
