1 / 8Lotus Nişantaşı apartment prices start at $816,000 (eight hundred sixteen thousand dollars) for a 153 m² 1+1, according to a broker price list updated in April 2026; over the same period two broker sites gave the project's overall starting price as between $1,239,000 (one million two hundred thirty-nine thousand dollars) and $1,250,000 (one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars). The project is a mixed-use building on Halaskargazi Street in Şişli, connected directly to Osmanbey metro station; it contains 62 (sixty-two) homes, 99 (ninety-nine) home offices, a shopping mall and The Westin Istanbul Nişantaşı hotel. Bertuğbey İnşaat is listed as the developer. The building was completed in 2022, and broker sites state that the developer's sales are finished, so purchases today go through resale listings.

Property Time Istanbul's office is at Skyland in Sarıyer; every legal step of the purchase is handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.
What are the key facts about Lotus Nişantaşı?
Lotus Nişantaşı is a mixed-use project with homes, home offices, a shopping mall and a hotel, built on a plot facing Halaskargazi Street in the Osmanbey part of Şişli. The Emlak Platform project page lists Bertuğbey İnşaat as the developer and Tabanlıoğlu Architects as the architect; a 2015 news report also announced that Bertuğbey İnşaat was starting a mixed-use project in Nişantaşı. The hotel in the project is the 150-room The Westin Istanbul Nişantaşı, a Glentur investment whose opening was announced in February 2023.

What else is in Lotus Nişantaşı besides homes?
Besides the homes, Lotus Nişantaşı has a shopping mall, a hotel and a home office section, so the project works less like a residential compound and more like a city-centre building in Osmanbey.
Large apartments from 1+1 to 4+1, 153 – 518 m²
Smaller office and home office units; a 95 m² listing exists

The $816,000 figure is identical to a foreign listing from 2022, so it may be left over from an older list.

How does buying in Lotus Nişantaşı 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 Lotus Nişantaşı?
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 Lotus Nişantaşı?
In October 2026 we found no priced rental listings for Lotus Nişantaşı on emlakjet, Hepsiemlak or broker sites. With only 62 homes in the project, all of them large, rental listings rarely appear. To give a sense of the area, a 122 m² 1+1 at the Ritz-Carlton Süzer Plaza in Harbiye was listed at 200,000 TL a month (~$4,030); this figure belongs to another project and is not a commitment for Lotus Nişantaşı.
Source: emlakjet.com, Şişli Halaskargazi Mahallesi rental residence search (27 October 2026, 0 listings in the neighbourhood; comparison listing in Harbiye, 12.10.2026). Rate: 1 $ = 49.6 TL.
What is the rental yield in Lotus Nişantaşı?
The rental yield for Lotus Nişantaşı cannot be calculated at the moment, because there are no sale and rental listings for the same unit type. The Emlak Platform page shows an "expected yield" of 4% (four percent), but this is an estimate and it is unclear what data it is based on. To see the real yield, current lease agreements in the project should be reviewed before buying.
Can units in Lotus Nişantaşı 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 Lotus Nişantaşı?
Service charges at Lotus Nişantaşı 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 Lotus Nişantaşı?
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.
Every residential price we found for Lotus Nişantaşı meets the $400,000 threshold on its own; even the lowest residential figure, $816,000, is twice the threshold. The home office listing, at about $605,000, is also above it, but how an office-type unit is treated in a citizenship application should be checked separately. Citizenship is based on the value shown on the title deed and an SPK-licensed valuation report; in a resale purchase, you should also ask whether the seller has already used the unit 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.

Is Lotus Nişantaşı a good investment?

- Mall and The Westin hotel in the same building
- All residential types above the $400,000 citizenship threshold
- Developer sales are finished; purchases go through resale listings
- Starting prices in the sources differ between $816,000 and $1,250,000
- No rental listings found in the project; rental yield cannot be calculated
- Sharing a building with a mall and a hotel: ask about service charges and footfall
