The project
About Topkapı 29
Ready to move into today, with nothing left to build: Akzirve brought the handover forward by three months from the date it had announced.
Topkapı 29 is a finished residential project of 1,691 apartments in sixteen blocks in Topkapı, on the European side of Istanbul, designed by the London architects Chapman Taylor for Akzirve and ready to move into now.
There is nothing left to imagine. You can walk the courtyards, ride the lift and stand in the actual apartment before you commit to it.
Akzirve brought the handover forward by three months from the 29 October 2023 date it had announced. Construction began in 2022, and the keys have been going to residents since.
It works as a neighbourhood rather than a compound. A shopping street and lifestyle centre runs along the ground floors, with offices, a hotel and residence, a wellness centre and clinic and academic apartments in the same development.
- Metro, metrobus, tram and Marmaray are all a ten-minute walk, and Akzirve puts Istanbul Airport 35 minutes away on the D100.
- Room to choose: 1+1 to 5+1, from 78.72 m² to 258.34 m² gross on the measured plans, under 3.05 m net ceilings.
- Outdoor space with every apartment, a balcony of 8 m² to 28 m² or a garden terrace of 35 m² to 80 m², and underfloor heating throughout.
- A 10,000 m² city park and about 4,000 m² of social facilities inside the gate, with a shopping street and lifestyle centre along the ground floors.
- Distinctive architecture by Chapman Taylor, the London practice founded in 1959.
Location & Connectivity
Leave the car at home. Metro, metrobus, tram and Marmaray stations are all a ten-minute walk from the door, which is four separate networks inside the same short walk.
The sea is the same distance. Akzirve puts the Zeytinburnu seafront ten minutes away on foot.
The motorway is at the door when you do want to drive. There is direct access to the highway, and Akzirve puts Istanbul Airport 35 minutes away on the D100.
For buses, Akzirve names the 34T from the Avcılar direction and the MR11 from Kazlıçeşme, with the metrobus stops at Merter and Cevizlibağ serving the project. Topkapı is the historic heart of Istanbul, ringed by hospitals, schools and business centres.

Residences & Layouts
Room to choose, and room to grow into. Layouts run 1+1, 2+1, 3+1, 4+1, 4.5+1 and 5+1, and the measured plans open at 78.72 m² gross for sale for a 1+1 and reach 258.34 m² for a 4.5+1 with a 94.47 m² private garden of its own.
The plans in between are measured too. A 2+1 is 142.54 m² gross for sale, a 3+1 is 186.14 m², a 4+1 is 235.86 m² and a 5+1 is 232.38 m².
Ceilings are 3.05 m net throughout, with wide sliding glazing. Rooms read taller and brighter than their floor area suggests, and the light carries deep into the plan.
Every apartment takes its own outdoor space. That is a balcony of 8 m² to 28 m², or a garden terrace of 35 m² to 80 m², and underfloor heating runs through all of them.
Each apartment also comes with its own parking space and its own storage room, so the car and the winter luggage both have somewhere to go.
1+12+13+14+14.5+15+178.72–258.34 m²
Amenities & Lifestyle
Swim, train and unwind without leaving the gate. About 4,000 m² of social facilities hold an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and studio, a spa, a cinema room, a library, a TV lounge, a café and a co-working area.
The park is inside the development, not down the road. Ten thousand square metres of it, laid out to take concerts and open-air cinema in the summer.
Four courtyards, each with its own character. There is a water courtyard with play fountains, a forest courtyard of dense trees, a fruit garden and a scented garden of linden blossom.
Children can be outside all day without leaving the grounds. Exercise tracks, multi-purpose courts, a skate park, play areas and pergola-shaded seating run through the lawns and flower beds between the blocks.
Distinctive architecture by Chapman Taylor. The shopping street and lifestyle centre carries the shops, cafés and restaurants along the ground floors, so the daily errand is a walk downstairs.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
You are buying a building that already exists. There is no construction to wait for, and you can stand in the apartment, on its own floor and with its own view, before you sign for it.
Akzirve delivered ahead of its own schedule here. The handover was brought forward by three months from the announced date of 29 October 2023, and apartments are ready to move into now.
It was built to use less. Energy and water saving, reduced waste and improved indoor air quality were designed in, and Akzirve gives Topkapı 29 a LEED-certified lifestyle.
The ground floors earn their keep as a place rather than a car park. A shopping street and lifestyle centre, offices, a hotel and residence and a wellness centre and clinic all sit inside the same development.
Ownership transfers in the ordinary way for a finished building. We check the Tapu (title deed) at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the ownership position is clear before you commit.
Turkish citizenship by investment turns on what you pay for a qualifying property and on holding it for three years, and we check that position against a named apartment before anything is signed.

Topkapı 29 was developed by Akzirve and designed by Chapman Taylor, the London architecture practice founded in 1959 and known for its award-winning shopping centre, office, residential and mixed-use work worldwide. Chapman Taylor arranged the sixteen blocks around landscaped courtyards with a shopping street and lifestyle centre at their feet, so the ground level reads as a neighbourhood rather than a gated compound.

About 4,000 m² of social facilities at Topkapı 29 hold an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and studio, a spa, a cinema room, a library, a TV lounge, a café and a co-working area.

How do you reach Topkapı 29 by public transport?
Metro, metrobus, tram and Marmaray stations are all a ten-minute walk from Topkapı 29, which is unusual for four separate networks in one place.

By car there is direct access to the highway, and Istanbul Airport is 35 minutes away on the D100.
What are Topkapı 29's prices?
Prices at Topkapı 29 are set apartment by apartment, because the block, the floor, the aspect and the layout all move the figure, and the published plans run from 78.72 m² gross for a 1+1 to 258.34 m² for a 4.5+1 with its own garden. Tell us the layout and the floor you want, and we will come back with what is available now and the price in writing.
Can a foreign buyer take a title deed at Topkapı 29?
Ownership at Topkapı 29 transfers in the ordinary way for a finished building, and we check the Tapu (title deed) at the Land Registry before any transfer, so the ownership position is clear before you commit. Turkish citizenship by investment turns on what you pay for a qualifying property and on holding it for three years, and we check that position against a named apartment before anything is signed.
