The project

About Tema İstanbul

You are buying into a place that already works: the gardens are grown in, the shops are open and the pool is in use.

Tema İstanbul is a finished residential project of 3,531 residences in Küçükçekmece, on the European side of Istanbul, built by Artaş İnşaat with Mesa Mesken, Öztaş and Kantur Aktaş, and lived in since 2015.

You move into a neighbourhood that already works. Across its 333,880 m² the gardens are planted and grown in, and the shops and cafés at ground level are open.

Everything on this page was photographed, not drawn. The avenue, the central garden, the pool and the fitness centre are all standing, and you can walk through them before you commit to anything.

  • Ready now: completed in 2015 and lived in since, so there is no delivery date ahead of you and no construction stage to follow.
  • A quarter, not a block: 333,880 m², with tree-lined avenues between the buildings and a plaza of shops and cafés at its centre.
  • A garden at the centre: a curved water channel runs through mature planting, and there is a landscaped lake with willows and waterfowl.
  • Room for every household: layouts run 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 across 3,531 residences.
  • Pool and gym downstairs: an indoor lap pool under a glazed barrel roof, and a residents' fitness centre with free weights.

Location & Connectivity

A good deal of what you need day to day sits inside the project. Shops and cafés trade at ground level around the central plaza, and the gardens, the landscaped lake and the pool are a short walk from your door.

The address is Küçükçekmece, on the European side of Istanbul. It is an established residential district well inside the city rather than a new edge of it.

At 333,880 m² this is a neighbourhood rather than a compound. Tree-lined avenues run between the blocks, and the plaza sits at the centre of them.

Residences & Layouts

There is a layout here for a couple and one for a large family, on the same site. Tema İstanbul runs 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 apartments.

The project holds 3,531 residences in total. What changes from one to the next is the block, the floor and what the windows face.

The blocks curve around the central garden and a cylindrical tower closes the avenue, so it has a silhouette of its own.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Your swimming and your training are downstairs, not across town. There is an indoor lap pool under a glazed barrel roof and a residents' fitness centre with free weights and a functional training rig.

The centre of the site is a garden, not a car park. A curved water channel runs through the planting between the blocks, and there is a landscaped lake with willows and waterfowl in the gardens.

In the evening the plaza lights up under the towers, and the shops and cafés along it are the ones you walk to rather than drive to.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship

There is no construction stage between you and the keys. Tema İstanbul was finished in 2015, and an apartment here can be furnished and let as soon as the Tapu (title deed) is in your name.

Because the building is finished you take over an existing title rather than waiting for one to be issued. We check the Tapu at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the ownership position is clear before you sign.

Turkish citizenship runs on the apartment rather than on the project. What decides it is the official SPK valuation of the apartment you choose against the threshold in force on the day you buy, and we run that check against a named apartment first.

Tell us the layout and the floor you have in mind. We will come back the same day with what is available at Tema İstanbul and the price in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tema İstanbul ready to move into?

Yes. Tema İstanbul was completed in 2015 in Küçükçekmece, on the European side of Istanbul, and it has been lived in since, so there is no delivery date ahead of you and no construction stage to follow. You can walk the avenues, the central garden and the shared facilities before you commit to anything, and an apartment can be furnished and let as soon as the Tapu (title deed) is in your name.

Where is Tema İstanbul?

Tema İstanbul is in Küçükçekmece, an established residential district on the European side of Istanbul in Türkiye. The project itself covers 333,880 m², with shops and cafés at ground level around its central plaza and gardens between the blocks, so a good deal of what you need day to day sits inside the project.

How many apartments does Tema İstanbul have, and what layouts are there?

Tema İstanbul holds 3,531 residences, on the developer's own figure, and the layouts run 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1. That covers a couple and a large family on the same site, and what changes from one apartment to the next is the block, the floor and what the windows face.

Who built Tema İstanbul?

Tema İstanbul was built by a partnership of four Turkish contractors: Artaş İnşaat, Mesa Mesken, Öztaş and Kantur Aktaş. It was completed in 2015 in Küçükçekmece, on the European side of Istanbul, and Artaş carries it among its own completed developments.

What facilities are there at Tema İstanbul?

Tema İstanbul has an indoor lap pool under a glazed barrel roof and a residents' fitness centre with free weights and a functional training rig, with shops and cafés at ground level around the central plaza. The centre of the project is landscaped: a curved water channel runs through mature planting between the blocks, and there is a lake with willows and waterfowl in the gardens. All of it is built and in use, and the pictures of it are photographs rather than drawings.

How much does an apartment at Tema İstanbul cost?

Price at Tema İstanbul is settled apartment by apartment, because on a site of 3,531 residences the block, the floor and the aspect all change what an apartment is worth. The project is finished and occupied, so anything on the market here is an apartment you can view before you decide. The exact figure and the payment terms go in writing against a named apartment.

Can I get Turkish citizenship by buying at Tema İstanbul?

Turkish citizenship runs on the apartment rather than on the project, so what decides it is the official SPK valuation of the apartment you choose against the threshold in force on the day you buy. We check that position against a named apartment at Tema İstanbul before anything is signed, and we check the Tapu (title deed) at the Land Registry as part of the same work.
