About Alya Residence Levent
A finished residence you can take over now and let this month, facing the Levent business district.
Alya Residence Levent is a finished development of 100 ready-to-move residences in Kağıthane, on the European side of Istanbul, occupying floors 9 to 23 of the Şeker Kule tower and looking straight across at the Levent business district. It was completed in 2025 by the listed trust Şeker GYO with Barış İnşaat as contractor, and a residence here can be furnished and let as soon as the deed is in your name.
Nothing here was sold on a plan. Şeker Kule went up as an office tower, and floors 9 to 23 became residences after the building was already standing. The spa floor, the car park and the residence itself were all there to be walked through before anyone was asked to buy one.
Why buyers choose it:
- Ready now: no construction stage to follow and no handover date to wait for. You inspect your own residence before you pay.
- Beside Sapphire on the Levent business spine, with Kanyon, MetroCity, Akmerkez and Zorlu Center on the same axis.
- 100 residences, 1+1 and 2+1 only, from 99.24 to 120.58 m² of sales area.
- 880 m² of spa and fitness with an indoor pool, your own storage room on your floor and a space in the 212-car garage.
- Tapu (title deed): kat mülkiyeti is already registered, and we check the deed at the Land Registry before you commit.
Location & Connectivity
You live on Istanbul's business spine. Sapphire and its shopping centre are next door, and Kanyon, MetroCity, Akmerkez and Zorlu Center all sit on the same axis, with Maslak further north.
The metro, the bus and the metrobüs are within walking distance, on the project's own figure: 4. Levent to the north and Levent to the south on the M2 line. You can work in this district and leave the car in the garage.
When you want out of it, the developer's map puts Belgrade Forest at fifteen minutes and İstinye Park and Göktürk at twenty-five. The Kağıthane area page on this site sets out the district around you in full.

Residences & Layouts
You buy high in the building. The residences occupy floors 9 to 23 of a 26-storey tower, above the offices and shops on the lower floors, and the outlook widens with every floor.
There are 100 of them, 1+1 and 2+1 only, across six plan types. Sales areas run from 99.24 to 120.58 m², and the building leans strongly to the 1+1.
Two areas are quoted for every apartment in Türkiye, and both are here. Net alan is the usable space inside your residence: 51.45 to 61.56 m². Toplam satış brüt alanı adds your share of the lifts, corridors and common parts, and it is the 99.24 to 120.58 m² that prices are quoted against.
Your residence comes with a private storage room on your own floor and a space in the 212-car covered garage. Inside are high ceilings, full-height windows that open, and smart home systems.
1+12+199.24–120.58 m²
Amenities & Lifestyle
Your spa and gym are 880 m² of their own, with an indoor swimming pool. You reach them in a lift, in a bathrobe, in any weather.
You park under the building, in one of 212 covered spaces. Security runs 24 hours a day with CCTV and controlled entry.
The tower carries a LEED Gold certificate, awarded by the US Green Building Council in August 2016 and recorded in Şeker GYO's own filed appraisal. The residences are built in accordance with it.
From the upper residential floors the outlook runs over Kağıthane to the Bosphorus and the 15 Temmuz Şehitler Bridge. This is an address for someone who wants to live where they work, with Sapphire's shopping centre and the M2 metro on foot.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
You are not buying a completion date. The building is finished and kat mülkiyeti is registered, so the Tapu (title deed) issued in your name here is a full condominium deed rather than the kat irtifakı (construction servitude) an off-plan purchase carries until its building is finished.
We check that deed at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the ownership position is clear before you sign. A residence here can be furnished and let from the day it is yours.
The seller is unusual, and in your favour. Şeker GYO is a real-estate investment trust listed on Borsa İstanbul since 7 June 2022, and it still owns most of the residences in the building. Barış İnşaat is the contractor and runs the sales.
Turkish citizenship is settled on the residence you buy, not on the project. It turns on the official valuation of that residence against the threshold in force on the day of purchase, and we run that check against a named residence before anything is signed.
The floor and the aspect change what a residence is worth here. Tell us the layout and the floor you want, and we come back today with what is available and the price in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Alya Residence Levent located?
In Kağıthane, on the European side of Istanbul, Türkiye, looking straight across at the Levent business district. Sapphire and its shopping centre are next door, and Kanyon, MetroCity, Akmerkez and Zorlu Center sit on the same business axis. The metro, the bus and the metrobüs are all within walking distance on the project's own figure, and we meet you at the building for the viewing.
Is Alya Residence Levent finished?
Yes. The tower was completed in 2025, kat mülkiyeti (condominium ownership) is registered on the residences and the project's own site now reads anahtarınız hazır, your key is ready. There is no construction stage to follow and no handover date to wait for, so you walk through the actual residence, and it can be furnished and let as soon as the deed is in your name.
How many residences does Alya Residence Levent have, and what are the layouts?
100 residences, 1+1 and 2+1 only, across six plan types. Sales areas run from 99.24 m² to 120.58 m² and net areas from 51.45 m² to 61.56 m². The building leans strongly to the smaller layout: Şeker GYO's schedule for 31 December 2025 lists its own 98 residences as 93 × 1+1 and 5 × 2+1.
What is the difference between the net area and the sales area at Alya Residence Levent?
Net alan is the usable floor area inside your residence, and at Alya Residence Levent it runs from 51.45 m² to 61.56 m². Toplam satış brüt alanı, the sales area, adds your share of the lifts, corridors, plant rooms and other common parts, and runs from 99.24 m² to 120.58 m². Prices in Türkiye are quoted against the sales area, so read the two together: a compact residence inside a heavily serviced tower.
What was Alya Residence Levent before?
Offices. The building is Şeker Kule, and on 20 September 2023 the board of its owner, Şeker GYO, resolved to convert floors 9 to 23 from offices into residences. The work was carried out by Barış İnşaat as yüklenici (contractor) under a hasılat paylaşımı (revenue-sharing) contract splitting the proceeds 67% to Şeker GYO and 33% to the contractor, which is why the trust still holds most of the residences and the contractor runs the sales.
Who is behind Alya Residence Levent?
Şeker GYO A.Ş. owns the building: a real-estate investment trust listed on Borsa İstanbul since 7 June 2022, with Şekerbank T.A.Ş. among its shareholders. Barış İnşaat İzolasyon Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is the contractor and runs the sales and marketing. A listed trust publishes its valuations and files its figures openly, which is why so much of this building is on the record before you even visit.
How tall is the building?
Şeker Kule rises 26 normal floors above ground, and the residences occupy floors 9 to 23. Every one of them therefore sits above the offices and shops on the lower floors, and the higher you go the further the outlook runs over Kağıthane towards the Bosphorus.
Is Alya Residence Levent environmentally certified?
Yes. Şeker Kule holds a LEED Gold certificate awarded by the US Green Building Council in August 2016 and recorded in Şeker GYO's own filed appraisal, and the residences are built in accordance with it. LEED Gold is awarded on the finished building, so it is a certificate with a date on it rather than an intention.
What kind of title deed comes with a residence at Alya Residence Levent?
A full condominium deed. Kat mülkiyeti (condominium ownership) is already registered here, so the Tapu (title deed) issued in your name is a kat mülkiyeti deed rather than the kat irtifakı (construction servitude) an off-plan purchase carries until its building is finished. We check the deed at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the ownership position is clear before you commit.
Is Alya Residence Levent eligible for Turkish citizenship?
Turkish citizenship by investment is settled on the individual residence, not on the project, so one building can hold residences on both sides of the line. It turns on the official valuation of the residence you buy, measured against the threshold in force on the day you buy it. We run that check against a named residence before anything is signed.
How much does a residence at Alya Residence Levent cost?
Prices here are set residence by residence, because the floor, the layout and the outlook change what one is worth. Our team holds what is available in the building now and puts the figure and the payment terms in writing against a named residence. Send us your budget and the layout you want.
