About Babacan Lagoon
An off-plan apartment around your own lagoon in Gaziosmanpaşa, one minute from the TEM motorway, for delivery in December 2027.
Babacan Lagoon is an off-plan residential project of 251 residences arranged around an artificial lagoon in Gaziosmanpaşa, on the European side of Istanbul, built by Babacan Yapı, a Babacan Holding company, for delivery in December 2027. The lake sits at the centre of a 7,675 m² city plot, and the blocks are set around the water rather than around a car park.
The lagoon is the product, not a name borrowed for marketing. Babacan Yapı's own catalogue describes a man-made lake crossed by timber bridges, with kiosks standing out in the water, fire pits along its banks and natural stone worked into the landscape. The walking and cycling routes follow its shore, so the water is what you live around.
Sizes run from 72.85 m² to 326.16 m² of gross sales area, across 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 with duplexes and garden-floor apartments among them. That is a first apartment and a family home on the same site.
- The lagoon is the product: a man-made lake with timber bridges and kiosks at the centre of the scheme, and the walking and cycling routes along its shore

- 251 residences from 72.85 m² to 326.16 m² gross sales area, in 1+1 to 4+1 with duplexes and garden floors
- A balcony or terrace on every apartment, a storage room with each plan, smart home systems and open or closed kitchen options
Location & Connectivity
The motorway is one minute away and the metro three. Babacan Yapı publishes the TEM motorway at one minute, the M7 metro at three, the T5 tram at four and Istanbul Airport at twenty-five.
The shopping sits on the same short reach. Vega Mall is three minutes away, Vialand five, Mega Center nine, and Vadistanbul and Forum Istanbul ten each, with Venezia Mall at 5 km on the developer's own list.
You are inside the established city rather than out beyond it. The M7 line runs from Mahmutbey down through Kağıthane to Kabataş and the T5 tram runs along the Golden Horn from Alibeyköy to Eminönü, so the centre is a single ride away. Gaziosmanpaşa is a dense, working part of the European side with the motorway on its edge, not a new district waiting for its infrastructure.

Residences & Layouts
Four layouts, and a real spread of sizes behind them. The range is 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 with duplexes and garden-floor apartments among them, running from 72.85 m² to 326.16 m² of gross sales area, read straight off Babacan Holding's own plan sheets.
The smallest is a 1+1 Type A at 72.85 m² gross and 45.94 m² net including its balcony. The largest in that set is a three-bedroom roof duplex at 326.16 m² gross, with a 134.78 m² terrace assigned to it on top. Turkish apartments are priced on the gross figure, so both numbers matter when you set one plan beside another.
Every plan in the developer's set assigns a storage room, at 4 m² on the smaller types and 5 m² on the larger, and the roof and duplex types carry terraces of their own. Apartments are published with a balcony or terrace throughout, with open and closed kitchen options and smart home systems.
1+12+13+14+172.85–326.16 m²
Amenities & Lifestyle
A pool, a hamam and a rooftop terrace without leaving the gate. Beyond the lagoon, Babacan Yapı publishes an indoor pool with a fitness centre and pilates studio, a hamam (Turkish bath) and sauna, a cafe and lounge, a rooftop social terrace, children's play areas, an enclosed private car park, and 24-hour security with a staffed lobby.
The water is where the day happens. Seating is set out on its banks, timber bridges cross it, tables sit under the trees at the edge, and the walking, running and cycling routes run around its shore.
The retail units along the base of the block face the street rather than the lagoon, so the passing trade stays outside and the water stays yours. The social terrace on the roof looks back over the district.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
The Tapu (title deed) position on the land is already ready, on Babacan Yapı's own statement, so the title is in order to transact against from the start. Delivery is published for December 2027.
What you buy off-plan is a drawing, a date and a deed you can check. We read the Tapu at the Land Registry against the exact apartment before any transfer, so the ownership position is clear before you sign.
Turkish citizenship by investment is settled apartment by apartment rather than as a property of a project. It runs on the appraised value of the residence you buy, against the statutory minimum in force on the day of purchase, with the Tapu carrying the three-year commitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Babacan Lagoon located?
Babacan Lagoon is in the Gaziosmanpaşa district on the European side of Istanbul, Türkiye, inside the established city rather than out beyond it. On Babacan Yapı's own published figures the TEM motorway is one minute away, the M7 metro three minutes and the T5 tram four, and Istanbul Airport is twenty-five minutes out. The M7 runs from Mahmutbey through Kağıthane to Kabataş and the T5 tram runs along the Golden Horn to Eminönü, so the centre is a single ride away.
Why is Babacan Lagoon called Lagoon?
Because an artificial lagoon is the centre of the scheme. Babacan Yapı's own catalogue describes a man-made lake crossed by wooden bridges, with kiosks set out in the water, fire pits around its edge and natural stone and planting worked into the landscape around it. The residential blocks are arranged around that water rather than around a conventional courtyard, and the walking and cycling paths follow its shore.
How many apartments are there at Babacan Lagoon, and what sizes?
251 residences, in 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 layouts including duplexes and garden-floor apartments. On the developer's own plan sheets the smallest, a 1+1 Type A, is 72.85 m² gross sales area with 45.94 m² net including the balcony; the largest read in that set, a 3+1 roof duplex, is 326.16 m² gross with a 134.78 m² assigned terrace. The plot is 7,675 m² and the construction area 39,000 m².
When will Babacan Lagoon be delivered?
Babacan Yapı publishes a delivery date of December 2027 in its own project catalogue, and states the Tapu (title deed) position on the land as ready. Because the building is still to go up, every image of the completed scheme on this page is an architectural render, an artist's impression of what is intended, and each frame is marked as one.
What is provided at Babacan Lagoon?
Beyond the lagoon itself, the developer publishes an indoor pool, a fitness centre and pilates studio, a hamam (Turkish bath) and sauna, a cafe and lounge, a rooftop social terrace, children's play areas, walking, running and cycling paths, an enclosed private car park, 24-hour security with a staffed lobby, and smart home systems in the residences. Every apartment is published as having a balcony or terrace, with open and closed kitchen options.
How well connected is Babacan Lagoon?
On Babacan Yapı's own published figures the TEM motorway is one minute away, the M7 metro three minutes, the T5 tram four minutes and Istanbul Airport twenty-five minutes. The developer also lists Vega Mall at three minutes, Vialand at five, Mega Center at nine, and Vadistanbul and Forum Istanbul at ten each. A motorway, a metro line, a tram line and four shopping centres therefore all sit inside ten minutes of the door.
How much does an apartment at Babacan Lagoon cost?
Prices at Babacan Lagoon are quoted against a specific apartment, because the layout, the floor and the aspect all move the figure across a range that runs from 72.85 m² to 326.16 m². Tell us the layout you want and we will come back to you today with what is available and the price in writing.
Does Babacan Lagoon qualify for Turkish citizenship by investment?
Turkish citizenship by investment is settled apartment by apartment rather than as a property of a project. It runs on the appraised value of the specific residence bought, measured against the statutory minimum in force on the day of purchase, with the Tapu (title deed) carrying the three-year commitment. We confirm that position against a named apartment at a named price before anything is signed.
