Babacan Meridian: Gayrettepe Residences in Central Beşiktaş, Istanbul

In central Beşiktaş, on the European side of Istanbul in Türkiye. Babacan Yapı puts Nişantaşı, Mecidiyeköy and Taksim at two minutes each, Akmerkez and Zorlu Center at three, and İstinye Park and the Beşiktaş ferry pier at ten. The M2 metro and the metrobüs meet at an interchange within walking distance, and the developer puts the D100 (E5) motorway one minute from the door. We arrange the viewing and meet you there.

Babacan Meridian is under construction, and Babacan Yapı documents the work with dated site updates as it goes. The date that binds is the contractual handover date written into the sale agreement for the apartment you buy, together with its penalty clause. Our team confirms both in writing against a named apartment before you sign, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.

Babacan Meridian offers 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 apartments, with çatı dubleks (roof duplex) apartments on the top floors and eight commercial spaces at street level. The developer's key-floor diagram shows six apartments to a typical floor, five of them 1+1 and one 2+1, so the one-bedroom layout is the building's staple and the larger layouts are the smaller part of it. That also means a quiet landing and a lift you are not sharing with a tower.

The 1+1, labelled Tip 2, is 61.10 m² net including its balcony and 97.96 m² gross, with a 19.77 m² balcony. The 2+1, labelled 2+1 B, is 70.73 m² net including its balcony and 116.50 m² gross, with a second bedroom and a 19.03 m² balcony. Net alan is the usable floor area inside the apartment; genel brüt alan adds its share of the corridors, lifts and common parts, and it is the figure prices in Türkiye are quoted against. The 3+1 and the roof duplexes are larger, and we confirm the exact area of a named apartment in writing.

Babacan Yapı, the construction arm of Babacan Holding, which publishes more than 4,000 branded residences delivered since 2002. The architecture is by Tago Mimarlık, and it is what keeps the building recognisable among the blocks around it: ten floors of curved ribbon balconies, planted along every level above a glazed retail base.

A SPA with sauna and steam room, a fitness centre, a pilates room and changing rooms, with a concierge lobby and a two-level private indoor car park beneath the building. Inside the apartment there is a smart home system and central underfloor heating, and each apartment has its own allocated storage area. Security runs 24/7 with cameras and closed-circuit monitoring, and eight shops sit at street level for the everyday things.

Yes, and the address is the reason to. You are inside the city's university and hospital belt: Bahçeşehir University, Yıldız Technical University and İstanbul Technical University are among the institutions nearby, with the American Hospital, Acıbadem and Florence Nightingale among the hospitals, and the office towers of the business district start immediately to the north. Our team will explain how letting works in Türkiye for a foreign owner.

Price is set apartment by apartment, because the floor, the layout and the aspect change what an apartment is worth. Babacan Yapı quotes in US dollars and works to payment plans: one published example is 35% down with the balance over 24 months, and individual plans are arranged. Our team holds the current release for this building and sets out the price and the terms in writing against a named apartment. Send us the layout and the budget you have in mind.

Citizenship by investment is decided on the apartment, not on the project. Eligibility rests on the appraised value of the apartment you buy reaching the threshold in force on the day of purchase, so one building can hold apartments on both sides of the line. We check the valuation for a named apartment before anything is signed.
