INTERVIEW WITH RUSLAN ALAKBAROV
RUSLAN ALAKBAROV
Head of Real Estate
THE STATE OIL FUND
OF AZERBAIJAN
1. How attractive is the Turkish real estate
market? And why?
3. What factors are currently holding investors
back?
R.A.: Very attractive for the following reasons: Turkey’s
beneficial geographical location and large and
developing domestic market; Turkey is still one of the
world’s fast-growing emerging markets, and long-term
confidence remains high, given the young population,
proximity to major markets and private-sector dynamism;
recent changes in the legal framework regarding the
ownership structure to support foreign investments like
introduction of REIF Communique and favourable tax
conditions.
R.A.: Lack of transparency; market players are not clearly
visible, and an exit strategy is difficult to plan; financing
conditions (in comparison to European banks) are not as
attractive; lack of quality institutional grade assets;
market dominated by local family holdings making it
difficult for first time entrants.
2. What are the hottest sub-sectors in Turkish
real estate?
R.A.: Logistics sector: Transportation and the
communication infrastructure is well established, but
there is lack of know-how in building and managing
high-quality logistic centers. Supply side stock is
outdated and does not meet modern standards. Limited
supply provides market opportunities. This is particularly
true around major free zones like Istanbul Atatürk,
Mersin, Izmir, Antalya, Kacaeli etc.
hinder speculative investments. Furthermore
transparency of local market players and authorities that
take part in the investment process should be ensured.
4. How easy is it to get deals done in Turkey?
And how easy is it to exit?
R.A.: Not so easy. Market is not transparent and there is
information asymmetry between local and international
players.
5. What do the Turkish authorities need to do to
encourage further investment?
R.A.: In the previous years local authorities have already
eased regulations and provided foreign investors with
favourable conditions, for example through modification
of regulations concerning REIFs and PEIFs. The aim now
should lay in stabilizing these structures and ensuring
investors that these regulations are long term in order to

INTERVIEW WITH RUSLAN ALAKBAROV
RUSLAN ALAKBAROV
Head of Real Estate
THE STATE OIL FUND
OF AZERBAIJAN
1. Türk gayrimenkulü dünya piyasasının
gözdeleri arasında yer alıyor mu? Neden?
R.A.: Sıralayacağım sebeplerden ötürü Türkiye dünya
piyasasının gözdeleri arasında: Türkiye Avrupa ve Orta
Doğu’nun tam ortasında eşsiz bir coğrafi konuma ve
gelişen yerel piyasaya sahip; Türkiye hala dünyanın en
hızlı büyüyen gelişmekte olan ülkeleri arasında. Uzun
vadede piyasaların güveni Türkiye için hala çok yüksek.
Oldukça genç ve dinamik bir nüfusa sahip. Gayrimenkul
alanının en önemli pazarlarına ve özel sektör
dinamizmine çok yakın bir yerde olan Türkiye, yasal
alanda gayrimenkul edinme konusunda yaptığı
değişiklikler ile yabancı yatırımcıların Türkiye’ye olan
güvenini arttırmıştır. Özellikle REIF ve özel vergilendirme
seçenekleri çok önemli olumlu yönde değişiklikler
yaratmıştır.
2. Türkiye gayrimenkul sektörünün en güçlü alt
pazarları hangileridir?
R.A.: Lojistik kesinlikle Türkiye’nin en güçlü alt pazarı.
Ulaştırma ve iletişim altyapıları Türkiye’de çok iyi bir
şekilde yapılandırılmıştır durumda. Ancak yüksek kalite
lojistik merkezleri yapılandırma ve yönetme konularında
maalesef ki ‘know-how’ eksikliği mevcut. Üretim tarafı
stokları zaman aşımına uğramış olup gereken modern
standartlarla uyuşmamaktadır. Kısıtlı üretim markette
ortaya çıkan fırsatların karşılanması için kullanılmaktadır.
Bu konu özellikle İstanbul Atatürk Havaalanı, Mersin,
İzmir, Antalya, Kocaeli gibi temel bölgeler ve çevresinde
özellikle geçerlidir.
3. Hangi sebepler yatırımcıları Türkiye
gayrimenkul sektörüne yatırım yapmaktan
alıkoyuyor?
R.A.: Türkiye piyasası şeffaf değil. Piyasadaki oyuncular
maalesef ki net değil ve piyasadan çıkış planları oldukça
zor. Finansal görüntü Avrupa Bankaları ile
karşılaştırıldığında daha az cezbedici. Piyasada kalitesi
yüksek kurumsal sınıf mal varlığı maalesef ki yok denecek
kadar az. Yerli aile şirketlerinin piyasadaki yoğun etkisi
piyasaya girişi zorlaştırmaktadır.
5. Uzun vadede Türkiye gayrimenkul
yatırımlarını cazip kılmak için Türkiye hükümeti
neler yapmalı?
R.A.: Geçtiğimiz yıllarda yerli otoriteler gayrimenkul
sektörü üzerindeki yasal kısıtlamaları rahatlattılar ve
yabancı yatırımcılara daha ılımlı koşullar sunmaya
başladılar. Örneğin, gayrimenkul ve girişim sermayesi
yatırım fonları ile ilgili kısıtlamalarda yeni düzenlemelere
gidildi. Yerel otoriteler şimdi temel yapı taşlarını
sabitleştirmeye yönelik adımlar atmalıdır. Bu istikrar uzun
vadede spekülatif yatırımları kontrol altına alacak ve
böylece yatırımcıları bu alternatiften uzaklaştıracaktır.
Buna ek olarak, yatırım alanında aktif olan yerli piyasa iş
grupları ve devlet kademeleri yabancı yatırımcıları
rahatlatacak bir şeffaflığa ulaşmak zorundadır.
4. Türkiye pazarında iş yapmak ne kadar kolay?
Pazarı terk etmek ne kadar kolay?
R.A.: Hiç kolay değil. Piyasalar şeffaf değil. Yerli ve
yabancı is grupları arasında bir bilgi asimetrisi mevcut ki
bu durum yabancıların pozisyonlarını bir hayli zorluyor.

Q&A
INTERVIEW WITH ŞENAY AZAK-MATT
Senay Azak-Matt is the General Manager of Aareal Bank AG’s Representative Office in Istanbul. She joined the head office in Wiesbaden in 1999,
where she became familiar with the credit business and later headed the Turkish credit department from the head office in Germany. In 2005,
she moved to Istanbul to open and establish Aareal Bank’s Representative Office with a team of local experts. Before joining the Bank,
she started her career in the sales department of a leading supplier of air conditioning systems. She graduated in business administration
at the University of Applied Sciences in Konstanz/Germany and in Coventry/England.
1. How attractive is the Turkish real estate
market? And why?
4. How easy is it to get deals done in Turkey?
And how easy is it to exit?
S.A.M.: Compared to the established markets the Turkish
real estate sector is still in the developing stage.
Therefore opportunities with higher yields prospects can
be achieved.
S.A.M.: With a willing seller and buyer I don’t see a
difference compared to other markets. As just mentioned,
international investors are in a somewhat hold-back
state, however, we still see exits in the market mainly to
local players, who are quite strong and liquid.
2. What are the hottest sub-sectors in Turkish
real estate?
S.A.M.: Depending on the region there are still
investment potential in retail and office sector. Also I
believe logistics in Istanbul is a promising segment in
mid-term.
3. What factors are currently holding investors
back?
5. What do the Turkish authorities need to do to
encourage further investment?
S.A.M.: Unfortunately the reputation of the Turkish
market outside of Turkey does not reflect the potential of
this country. In this respect much can be done. Also
sticking to the approach to apply European Standards in
all sectors is crucial.
S.A.M.: The established markets are currently very liquid
and show still good investment potential. As long as this
is the case and the political road map of Turkey is not
clear “visible” for international investors the appetite will
be restrained.

INTERVIEW WITH FAWAZ AL SALEH
FAWAZ AL SALEH
Vice Chairman & CEO
TURKAPITAL
HOLDING B.S.C.(C)
1. How attractive is the Turkish real estate
market? And why?
4. How easy is it to get deals done in Turkey?
And how easy is it to exit?
F.A.S: Turkey is an emerging market with very strong
upside. Turkey’s fundamentals are very strong. The country’s
population grows by 1% annually, the disposal income has
increased and is projected to increase significantly in next
five year, the economy grew by annually 4-5% on average
over the last decade, and estimated to grow 3-4% in the
near future. These fundamentals make the country very
attractive. Furthermore, Turkey also benefits from its
moderate climate and geographical proximity to Europe
and Middle East markets which attracts further foreign
interest in Turkish real estate market.
F.A.S: The deals in Turkey are hard to close because some of
the properties do not comply with the legal and technical
requirements. Many of the deals cannot pass DD stage. The
legal system also creates challenges for the foreign
investors. For example a long term lease is hard to enforce
based on Turkish commercial law. If a tenant does not pay
then evacuating the premises and collecting unpaid rent
are long and expensive processes
2. What are the hottest sub-sectors in Turkish
real estate?
F.A.S: Legal system could be improved to provide a decision
in a shorter time since a court decision under current
structure takes about 3-5 years. Additionally, some of the
tax benefits available in the European and US markets could
be adopted to encourage investments.
F.A.S: Residential and logistic sectors are the main driver of
Turkish real estate sectors.
5. What do the Turkish authorities need to do to
encourage further investment?
3. What factors are currently holding investors
back?
F.A.S: High currency fluctuations, and legal problems are
the main investor concerns.

INTERVIEW WITH CEM ALFAR
Cem Alfar, born on 1966, from early 2010 until 2012 had his own company, ACRES, which specialised in advising on retail real estate business in Turkey.
Before ACRES, he was the MD of Foruminvest in Turkey from early 2007 until the end of 2009. Previously, Cem worked for Doğan Şirketler Grubu
as real estate developer, ECE Türkiye as head of the Business Development Department, Efsane Motor as general manager and McDonald’s
as senior real estate representative. Cem is the CEO for Corio Türkiye since May 2012.
1. Türk gayrimenkul piyasası hakkında ne kadar
optimistsiniz? Piyasaya yön veren faktörler
neler?
C.A.: Corio Türkiye’ye 2005 yılında girmiş ve bu güne kadar
600M Euro üzerinde yatırım gerçekleştirmiştir. Bu
yatırımların büyük çoğunluğu da Anadolu şehirlerinde yer
almaktadır. Türkiye yara almadan bir küresel kriz geçirdi.
Yerel seçimler ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimlerin sonrasında
ekonomik ve politik istikrarın tekrar sağlandığını gördük.
Komşu ülkelerde yaşanan karışıklıkların etkisini azaltacak
önlemlerin Hükümet tarafından alınmakta olduğunu
görüyoruz. Cari açık küresel piyasalardaki enerji fiyatlarına
paralel olarak azalmaya başladı. İşsizlik oranı düşüyor.
Enflasyonun yeni yılda iki rakamlı haneleri görmeyeceğini
umuyoruz. Öte yandan kişi başına düşen milli gelirin ve
tüketim harcamalarının , konut ve araba satışlarının
perakende ticaret hacminin, organize perakendeciliğin ve
yerli yabancı marka sayısının artmakta olduğunu
gözlemliyoruz. İşler böyle giderse yeni yılda yatırımcıların
yönünün Türkiye’ye döneceğini düşünüyoruz. Nitekim
şirketimiz de yeni yatırım imkanlarını araştırmaktadır.

2. 2015 yılı için öngördüğünüz en büyük risk
yada zorluk nedir?
4. Yabancı yatırımda büyüme nereden gelecek?
Orta Doğu? Hindistan? Avrupa?
C.A.: 2015 yılında FED’in alacağı kararlar doğrultusunda
sermaye piyasalarındaki dalgalanmaların TL ye olan
etkisini izlemek durumundayız. Kur riski her zaman olduğu
gibi 2015 te de önemli risk faktörlerinden biri olacaktır.
Yaklaşan genel seçimler ve jeopolitik gelişmeler bölgesel
istikrarın muhafaza edilmesini zorlaştırabilir. Ancak, kararlı
ve güçlü bir hükümet bu sorunların üstesinden gelecektir.
C.A.: Yabancı yatırımcılar, menşei neresi olursa olsun
benzer beklentiler içindeler. Sadece yüksek getiri oranı
aramıyorlar. Öncelikle yatırımlarını yönlendirecekleri
ülkedeki sermaye piyasaları ve hukuk sisteminde istikrar ve
derinlik , Ar-ge yatırımlarına olanak sağlanması ve eğitilmiş
iş gücünün bulunması, vergi ve yatırım teşviklerinin
bulunması ve bunların yerli ve yabancı gözetmeden
herkese uygulanması , müktesep hakların korunması, anlık
kararlar ve torba yasa tasarıları ile getirilen
düzenlemelerden ve serbest piyasa ekonomisine yapılan
müdahalelerden kaçınılması , döviz kurları, faizler ve diğer
ekonomik göstergelerdeki tahminlerde sapmaların
azalması önemli yatırım kriterleri olarak ön plana çıkıyor.
Bunlar Hükümetin öncelik listesine girerse ve güvenceler
sağlanırsa Türkiye’nin gayrimenkul sektöründe yıllık dış
sermaye girişi 2 -3 Milyar Dolarlardan çok rahatlıkla 10 -15
Milyar Dolarlar seviyesine çıkacaktır. Günümüzde
gayrimenkul fonlarının yöneticileri , eski itibarlarını
kazanabilmek için pay sahiplerine daha fazla güvence
vermek ve yatırım yapacakları ülke ile ilgili daha çok
olumlu hikaye anlatmak zorundalar.
3. En büyük büyüme potansiyelini Türkiye’nin
hangi bölge ve alt sektörlerinden bekliyorsunuz?
Neden?
C.A.: Yabancı yatırımcıların ilgisi İstanbul başta olmak
üzere daha çok büyük şehirlere oluyor. Türkiye hala iş
geliştiricilerin hakim olduğu, kurumsal yatırımcıların eksik
bulunduğu bir ülke. Büyük şehirlerdeki risk getiri oranı
daha yüksek ve büyük şehirlerin bilinirliliği daha yüksek
olduğu için bu strateji daha fazla kullanılıyor. Oysa ki asıl
boşluk ve potansiyel Anadolu’daki hızla büyüyen ve talep
eden şehirlerde. Konut , otel , yurt ve perakende yatırımları
için hala bu bölgeler cazip imkanlar sunuyor. Ancak
buralarda beklentilerin baştan çok yüksek tesis edilmesi
yanlış yatırım kararlarına yol açabiliyor. Dikkatli adım
atılırsa iyi büyüme yakalanabilir.

Q&A
INTERVIEW WITH CEM ALFAR
5. Piyasaya giren yabancı yatırımcı artışının
piyasa ve yerel yatırımcı olarak Corio üzerindeki
etkisinin nasıl olacağını düşünüyorsunuz?
C.A.: Corio Avrupa’daki önemli kurumsal ve halka açık
gayrimenkul şirketlerinin başında geliyor. Şeffaf ve
sürdürülebilir yapısı ve yönetimdeki deneyimi ve üstün
başarısı sayesinde Avrupa’daki birçok kurumsal yatırımcı
aslında Türkiye’ye dolaylı yoldan Corio Türkiye portföyü
üzerinden yıllardır yatırım yapıyorlar. 2015 Ocak sonunda
tamamlanması beklenen birleşme süreci sonrasında da
Klepierre – Corio 21 Milyar Euroluk portföyü ile
Avrupa’nın en büyük Alışveriş Merkezleri yatırım ve
yönetim şirketi olacak. Bu şekilde , Türkiye’deki en önemli
ve en geniş katılımlı kurumsal yatırımcı platformu da
oluşmuş ve yeni yatırım imkanları da yaratılmış olacak.
6. Yatırım kriterleriniz nelerdir? Büyüklük?
Sektör? Kâr?…
C.A.: Yeni oluşumun tek hedefi , birleşme amacı gereği
Alışveriş Merkezleri olacak. Kiralanabilir alanı 50.000 m2
nin üzerinde , sürdürülebilir , rekabete dayanıklı projelere
yatırım yapacağız. Bunlar henüz geliştirme aşamasında
olan projeler olabileceği gibi mevcut ve düzenli nakit
akışı sağlayan , sektör ve marka karması kuvvetli Alışveriş
Merkezleri de olabilir.

INTERVIEW WITH MAKBULE YÖNEL MAYA
Makbule Yönel Maya,a licensed valuation expert certified by the CMB and RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors),
graduated from the Yıldız Technical University, Architecture Faculty, Urban and Regional Planning Department in 2003.Starting her professional life in 2003,
she has been in charge of various positions aimed for real property and Urban Planning. She joined the TSKB Real Estate Appraisal Company as a Valuation Expert
in 2005 and subsequently has been promoted to the position of Assistant Director in 2007,Director in 2008,Manager in 2010 and Vice GM responsible
of the Corporate Valuation Department and Financial and Administrative Affairs at the beginning of 2010.In March 2013,she resumed her position of GM of the company.
1. How attractive is the Turkish real estate
market? And why?
3. What factors are currently holding investors
back?
M.Y.M.: When we examine the residential sales that have
materialized in Turkey in 2014, it is observed the 1%
(according to TÜİK data) of these sales have been realized
as sales to foreigners. It is known that the sales to the
Arab and the Gulf countries take the most significant
share among these. Looking from this perspective, it may
be foreseen that the Turkish Real Estate sector will be
able to reach the desired position in the World market
even faster in case higher rates of return are possible.
M.Y.M.: It may be told that the investments will be
accelerated in case more attractive rates of return are
possible in the Real Estate sector in Turkey. However,
definitely a transparent market and environment where
the geopolitical location of our country and the
associated strategic positional risks are minimized is
necessary.
2. What are the hottest sub-sectors in Turkish
real estate?
M.Y.M.: The hottest sub-sector in the Turkish Real Estate
sector is no doubt the “residential” investments. Our
company performs best-use and consultancy studies for
investments that will reach the correct users at the
correct location. In that sense, especially in İstanbul, the
locomotive city of Turkey, residential investments lead at
the forefront and this is followed by office and SHC
investments. In the coming days, a growth is expected
also in the logistics sector in order to take advantage of
Turkey’s location that interconnects the European and
Asian continents.

interest and trust of the foreigners will increase during
this process. We all are experiencing that the tax
advantages offered by the urban transformation process,
which currently is locomotive of the construction sector
in our country, is positively influencing the domestic
interest in urban transformation. Likewise, offering
similar advantages also for the foreign investors will
provide significant contributions in the investments.
Stability has to be our country’s objective in the coming
period in all respects.
4. How easy is it to get deals done in Turkey?
And how easy is it to exit?
M.Y.M.: The most important factor is to have reliable
consultants inside in order to operate in the Turkish
market. Since the Real Property sector is not transparent
in our country, we recommend proceeding with local
partners in order to reach the correct know-how.
5. What do the Turkish authorities need to do to
encourage further investment?
M.Y.M.: Turkey has a structure that is “institutionalizing”
both in the sense of small family companies and the
general structure in the country. We predict that the

1. Türk gayrimenkulü dünya piyasasının
gözdeleri arasında yer alıyor mu? Neden?
M.Y.M.: Türkiye’ de 2014 yılı içerisinde gerçekleşen konut
satışları incelendiğinde bunun %1’ nin (TÜİK verilerine
gore) yabancılara satış olarak gerçekleştiği görülmektedir.
Bunda en önemli payı Arap ve Körfez ülkelerine olan
satışların aldığı bilinmektedir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında,
daha yüksek getiri oranlarının mümkün olması
durumunda Türkiye Gayrimenkul sektörünün Dünya
piyasası içindeki konumunun istenilen seviyeye daha
hızlı ulaşabileceği öngörülebilir.
2. Türkiye gayrimenkul sektörünün en güçlü alt
pazarları hangileridir?
M.Y.M.: Türkiye Gayrimenkul sektörünün en önemli alt
pazarı hiç kuşkusuz “konut” yatırımlarıdır. Doğru
konumda doğru kullanıcıya ulaşacak yatırımlar için
şirketimiz best-use ve danışmanlık çalışmaları
yapmaktadır. Bu anlamda özellikle Türkiye’nin lokomotif
şehri İstanbul’da ilk sırada konut, daha sonra ise ofis ve
AVM yatırımları önplana çıkmaktadır. Türkiye’nin Avrupa
ve Asya kıtalarını birleştiren konumunun avantajlarını
kullanmak üzere önümüzdeki dönemde lojstik
sektöründe de gelişme kaydetmesi beklenmektedir.
3. Hangi sebepler yatırımcıları Türkiye
gayrimenkul sektörüne yatırım yapmaktan
alıkoyuyor?
M.Y.M.: Türkiye’ de Gayrimenkul piyasasında daha cazip
getiri oranlarının sözkonusu olması ile yatırımların ivme
kazanacağı söylenebilir. Ancak bunun için elbette
ülkemizin jeopolitik konumu ve bunun getirdiği stratejik
konumsal risklerin minimize edildiği, şeffaflık içeren bir
piyasa ve ortam gerekmektedir.

bir yapıdadır. Bu süreçle birlikte yabancıların ilgisinin ve
güveninin artacağını öngörüyoruz. Ülkemizde inşaat
sektörünün lokomotif konusu olan kentsel dönüşüm
sürecindeki vergi avantajlarının, kentsel dönüşüm
sürecine olan yerel ilgiyi olumlu yönde etkilediğini hep
birlikte tecrübe ediyoruz. Benzer şekilde dış yatırımcılar
için de benzer avantajlar sağlanması büyük katkı
sağlayacaktır yatırımlara. Her anlamda istikrar
önümüzdeki süreçte ülke hedefimiz olmalıdır.
4. Türkiye pazarında iş yapmak ne kadar kolay?
Pazarı terk etmek ne kadar kolay?
M.Y.M.: Türkiye piyasasında faaliyet göstermek için en
önemli faktör içeride güvenilir danışmanlarınız olmasıdır.
Zira ülkemizde Gayrimenkul piyasası şeffaf değildir ve
doğru know-how’a ulaşmak için local partnerler ile
ilerleme sağlanmasını tavsiye ediyoruz.
5. Uzun vadede Türkiye gayrimenkul
yatırımlarını cazip kılmak için Türkiye hükümeti
neler yapmalı?

1. How attractive is the Turkish real estate
market? And why?
3. What factors are currently holding investors
back?
5. What do the Turkish authorities need to do to
encourage further investment?
M.W.: Turkey and Istanbul in particular has seen
significant advancement over the last decade, but there
is still a great deal of opportunity within the Turkish real
estate market as a whole, and especially within certain
key sectors and sub-sectors.
M.W.: The most important thing is that developers and
investors should have a vision in line with stage that the
Turkish market has reached in its progression from
‘Emerging’ to ‘Developed’ market. Many international
investors tend to try and ‘pigeonhole’ the Turkish market
in terms of ‘emerging market’ norms, but it is far more
complex than that. Investors who have spent the right
amount of time up front to research the market and to
seek out opportunities within their subsector, are likely
to experience less barriers to progression, especially if
alongside quality local partners. The right advice from a
quality local partner early on can save a lot of time.
M.W.: There needs to be a greater understanding as to
the huge advancements that have been made in the
Turkish market over the last decade and of the ongoing
projects that will further enhance what is an increasingly
modern and truly amazing country.
We are seeing increased interest from international
investors from a wide range of destinations, attracted to
the significantly improved quality of product.
2. What are the hottest sub-sectors in Turkish
real estate?
M.W.: For the right site and with the right quality of
product the Residential and office sectors continue to
offer good development opportunity. Our speciality is in
the Luxury branded Residence and Hotel sectors. These
sectors continue to excel and we trust that projects like
our Maçka Residences İnterior Design by Armani/Casa
Managed by Kempinski, in Istanbul; Mandarin Oriental,
Bodrum and The Residences Mandarin Oriental Bodrum,
have helped raise standards to be amongst the very best
in the world.
4. How easy is it to get deals done in Turkey?
And how easy is it to exit
M.W.: Great deals almost always mean difficult
negotiations to achieve a mutually beneficial solution.
Once a deal has been agreed, however, documentation is
relatively straightforward. There are clear incentives to
holding property for a certain period time, but if an
investor wishes to sell then exiting, in terms of a straight
real estate asset sale, is generally a simple process.
In this way investors will be able to begin their
consideration process from the right starting point.
More information stressing the modernity of Turkey and
readily available data on successful developments,
whether private or public, and future planned projects
would be a certain benefit.
6. What does the future hold?
M.W.: We see that there will once again be a shortage of
high quality luxury residential stock in prime locations in
the coming years.

1. How attractive is the Turkish real estate
market? And why?
A.E.U.: Turkish real estate market attract international
investors and developers with strong demographics,
young population, and favourable economic growth,
especially in the last decade.Almost half of the
population is under 30 years old, young and skilled
labour force supports economic growth. The robust
construction sector is also support real estate market,
whichhelps to increase product availability in the recent
years. Another major factor is the ongoing large-scale
infrastructure projects such as3rd Bosphorus Bridge, 3rd
Airport and New Istanbul Finance Centre, which will
promote especially investments in Istanbul.
2. What are the hottest sub-sectors in Turkish
real estate?
A.E.U.: Residential has always been an important
investment tool, especially for individuals in Turkey. The
strong demographics and improving credit conditions
also help to attract foreign investors and also developers,
as well. Especially corporate companies are looking for
opportunities to buy bulk condos for investment
purposes. While international developers are searching JV
opportunities for development alternatives. Office sector
become more attractive in the last a few years with the
increasing availability in investment grade products, and
healthy demand coming from internationals also support
the sector. Hotel sector is also attract investors, both in
luxury and business segments with increasing tourism
figures and business environment. As alternative
investments, student housing, senior housing and data
centres are becoming new hot sectors and it is expected
to attract more investors in the coming years.
3. What factors are currently holding investors
back?
A.E.U.: The lack of institutional investment grade
products has limited the investment opportunities.
However, new pipeline projects offer alternatives,
especially pre-lease and pre-saleoptions which investors
are benefitting well-price opportunities in the a few
years. Another reason is risk perception compared to the
mature market. Especially, currency volatility can create
extra pressure on pricing and credit conditions.

location can be easily closed. Furthermore, in terms of
transaction advisory services, such as taxing, audit, legal
or brokerage, are available in European standards. For
exit strategies, the important issue is matching
expectations of the buyer and seller. Similar like entrance
strategy, the product quality may determine the timeline
of the deal.

encourage further investment?

regeneration, support Turkish real estate market.

estate funds (REIFs), will also help to promote new
investments in Turkey.
