About Citadines Centric İstanbul
A furnished apartment run under the Citadines brand, so it arrives ready to use rather than as a shell.
One hundred and sixty-seven furnished apartments in a single block on Basın Ekspres, in Küçükçekmece on the European side of Istanbul. It is built by Muhsin Group Yapı İnşaat and run under the Citadines brand of The Ascott Limited, so the apartments are delivered furnished and the block is operated rather than simply managed.
It stands on 4,584 m² of land with 29,962 m² of construction and 1,752 m² of landscaping. Construction began in March 2022 and the title deeds are ready.

- One hundred and sixty-seven apartments in a single block, from a 81.93 m² 1+1 to a 234.21 m² 3+1 duplex.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Citadines Centric İstanbul located?
Citadines Centric İstanbul is on Basın Ekspres in the Küçükçekmece district of Istanbul, Türkiye, on the European side. The developer's own project description gives the distances: the 212 shopping centre, Armoni Park, Rumeli hospital and the Sefaköy metrobüs are each five minutes away, Mall of İstanbul ten, the Mahmutbey metro thirteen, Aydın University fifteen, and İstanbul Airport twenty-five.
What is the Citadines brand and who runs the building?
Citadines is one of the accommodation brands of The Ascott Limited, a Singapore-based operator with properties in more than 220 cities. The apartments here are delivered furnished and run under that brand, which is why the project is described as a hotel-apartment rather than a plain residential block. What that means for you day to day is a front desk and serviced upkeep alongside an apartment you own.
What apartment types and sizes does Citadines Centric İstanbul offer?
There are 167 apartments in a single block. The 1+1 runs from 81.93 to 123.54 m² and there are 111 of them; the standard 2+1 from 105.83 to 180.01 m² with 32; the 2+1 duplex from 144.53 to 198.32 m² with 16; and the 3+1 duplex from 170.99 to 234.21 m² with 8. Both open and closed kitchen layouts are offered on the 1+1.
Is Citadines Centric İstanbul ready to move into?
Not yet. Construction began in March 2022 and the project is still under construction. The title deeds are ready, and Ziraat Katılım has given a guarantee covering completion of the building. Ask us and we will tell you the state of the work today before you commit to anything.
What are the payment terms at Citadines Centric İstanbul?
The developer's own terms are fifty per cent down with the balance over twelve or eighteen monthly instalments. The title-deed fee is 2% and VAT is 10%. Those are the developer's published figures; we confirm the price and the terms of a named apartment in writing before you commit.
Is Citadines Centric İstanbul eligible for Turkish citizenship?
Turkish citizenship by investment is decided on the appraised value of the apartment you buy, measured against the statutory minimum in force on the day of purchase, and the Tapu (title deed) carries a three-year commitment not to sell. That assessment is made for one apartment at one price, so ask us about the apartment you are considering and we will tell you where it stands.
