Babacan Port Royal Prices and Details 2026
Kartaltepe, Sefaköy, Küçükçekmece, Istanbul
1 / 37Babacan Port Royal apartments start at $126,000 (one hundred twenty-six thousand dollars) according to a dollar-based sales list dated October 2026; that price is for a 37 m² 1+0, and the highest 2+1 on the list is $603,000 (six hundred three thousand dollars). The project was built by Babacan Yapı, the construction arm of Babacan Holding, in Kartaltepe, in the Sefaköy area of Küçükçekmece, about 1 (one) minute from the E-5 highway. Its 5 (five) blocks on a plot of about 16,527 m² hold 814 (eight hundred fourteen) homes plus shops. The project is finished, handovers took place in 2019 – 2020, and units are sold with full condominium title. The sales list offers 30% (thirty percent) down and 24 (twenty-four) monthly installments. Because the list's price per square metre is well above the neighbourhood average, every unit should be checked with an independent valuation. Property Time Istanbul's office is at Skyland in Sarıyer; all legal steps of the purchase are handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.

How much are apartments for sale in Babacan Port Royal?
According to a dollar-based sales list dated 2 October 2026, Babacan Port Royal 1+0 units cost between $126,000 (one hundred twenty-six thousand dollars) and $147,000 (one hundred forty-seven thousand dollars), 1+1 units between $198,000 (one hundred ninety-eight thousand dollars) and $237,000 (two hundred thirty-seven thousand dollars), 2+1 units between $262,000 (two hundred sixty-two thousand dollars) and $603,000 (six hundred three thousand dollars), and 3+1 units between $382,000 (three hundred eighty-two thousand dollars) and $421,000 (four hundred twenty-one thousand dollars). These prices do not reflect the 10% (ten percent) cash discount, and they exclude 1% (one percent) VAT and the 4% (four percent) title deed fee. The payment plan is 30% (thirty percent) down and 24 (twenty-four) monthly installments. The list works out to roughly $3,400 (three thousand four hundred dollars) per square metre; the same portal gives a project average of $1,554 (one thousand five hundred fifty-four dollars) per m², and emlakjet shows an average sale price of 72,543 TL/m² (about $1,463 (one thousand four hundred sixty-three dollars)) for the Kartaltepe neighbourhood. Older sources show much lower prices: in February 2025 a 45 m² unit was listed at $78,000 (seventy-eight thousand dollars) and a 0+1 at 3,712,500 (three million seven hundred twelve thousand five hundred) TL; in May 2024 the starting price was announced as 2,900,000 (two million nine hundred thousand) TL. Since the project is complete, some sales are resales; we found no live listings for this project on sahibinden, emlakjet or hepsiemlak.

How does buying in Babacan Port Royal work?
As the project is completed, sales are resales: a contract is signed with a deposit and the balance is paid at the land registry together with the title transfer. During this process, the title deed, mortgage and lien check, review of the sale contract and the transfer are handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu. Buyers who cannot travel to Turkey can complete the title transfer by power of attorney.
How do foreigners buy property in Babacan Port Royal?
A foreign buyer first obtains a Turkish tax number and opens a Turkish bank account; then the title deed and encumbrance check, valuation report and contract are completed and the title is transferred. The land registry also confirms that the property can be sold to a foreigner. Every step is followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, who works on property purchases by foreigners.
What needs to be done after the title transfer?
After the transfer, the electricity, water and gas subscriptions are opened in the new owner's name, the owner is registered with building management and a property tax return is filed with the municipality. If a citizenship application will be made, the payment documents and the title deed annotation are added to the file at this stage.
How much are apartments for rent in Babacan Port Royal?
We could not find any rental listings for Babacan Port Royal at the moment; none of the Kartaltepe rental listings on emlakjet belong to this project, and none are inside a gated complex. For a rough idea: the same page shows an average monthly rent of 40,564 TL (about $818) for the neighbourhood and an average of 568 TL (about $11.5) per m². Rents in Port Royal, a complex with pools and social facilities, are likely to differ from this average; ask the site management or local agencies for current rents.

What is the rental yield in Babacan Port Royal?
The rental yield for Babacan Port Royal cannot be calculated, because there is no unit type in the project with both a sale and a rental listing. One project portal mentions an annual yield of 9% (nine percent), but the basis of that figure is not explained and it is not a guarantee. Comparing the neighbourhood average rent with the prices on the dollar list would not give a reliable result, given the gap in price and product.
Can units in Babacan Port Royal be rented short term?
Under the rules in force since 2024, short-term rental requires a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the unanimous consent of the other owners in a condominium building. In projects with many units this consent is hard to obtain in practice, so investment returns should be calculated on long-term rent.
What are the service charges and buying costs at Babacan Port Royal?
Service charges at Babacan Port Royal are set by building management according to the apartment's size and the compound's services. We obtain the current service charge for the apartment you are considering in writing from management and share it before purchase. The main buying costs on top of the price are:
By law, buyer and seller pay 2% each; the parties may agree otherwise.
A fixed fee charged for the title deed transaction.
Compulsory earthquake insurance taken out before the transfer.
Licensed valuation; compulsory for purchases by foreigners.
Present at the land registry for buyers who do not speak Turkish.
By Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, from contract to title deed.
Fee rates may change with legislation; you can request the exact breakdown in writing before purchase. For new-build purchases, whether VAT is included in the price is also checked.
Can you get Turkish citizenship by buying in Babacan Port Royal?
A home or office worth at least $400,000 (four hundred thousand dollars) qualifies for Turkish citizenship by investment; the threshold can also be reached with more than one property.
According to the dollar list dated 2 October 2026, none of the 1+0 or 1+1 units in Babacan Port Royal meet the $400,000 threshold on their own. 2+1 prices run from $262,000 to $603,000, so only the larger units at the top of the band pass the threshold; among the 3+1s priced at $382,000 – $421,000, only the upper band is above it. What counts for a citizenship application is the value in the licensed valuation report and the price shown on the title deed. Because list prices are far above the neighbourhood average, there is a risk that the report will come in below the list price, so the valuation should be done independently before signing and the citizenship process planned around it. For resale purchases, also check whether the unit has already been used for a citizenship application.
- The value is determined by a licensed valuation report.
- A no-sale annotation of at least 3 (three) years is placed on the title deed.
- Payment is made in foreign currency and documented through a Turkish bank.
- The application file is prepared and followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.
Legislation may change; current requirements are confirmed with the lawyer before applying.
