Under construction

Under-Construction Projects in Istanbul

Istanbul projects you can watch being built: what a rising site proves that a brochure cannot, what Kat İrtifakı means for your title, and how to read a delivery date.

A project under construction sits between the two ends of the market: the entry price is no longer the earliest off-plan figure, and the certainty is not yet ready-to-move. What it offers instead is evidence. The site exists, the floors are countable, and a visit tells you more about the developer than any brochure ever will — a pace you can see with your own eyes is the one promise that cannot be worded away.

Your title at this stage is Kat İrtifakı (a construction-servitude title), the same registered ownership right an off-plan buyer holds, and it converts to full ownership once the building is complete and the İskan (habitation certificate) is issued. Until that document exists, a delivery date remains the developer's statement — which is why the honest question is never the date printed in the brochure, but the stage the works have actually reached.

What to check. Judge the site, not the showroom. Countable floors and workers on a weekday say more than a sales office ever will, and we will tell you when the schedule and the site disagree.
