Mesa Cadde Prices and Details 2026
Feyzullah, Maltepe, Istanbul
Mesa Cadde apartments for sale start from about $239,000 (two hundred thirty-nine thousand dollars) as of October 2026, and the highest asking price in the listings we checked is $665,000 (six hundred sixty-five thousand dollars). The project stands at the Maltepe end of Bağdat Avenue on Istanbul's Asian side, on the former CarrefourSA site, about 650 metres from the seafront. It was developed by a joint venture of Mesa Mesken, Caba İnşaat and Aslan Yapı and has 253 homes in four blocks of 6 to 16 floors, plus an open-air shopping street. The homes have been handed over; sales today are resales, and there are only a few listings. Based on a single 1+1 rental listing, the gross yield works out at about 5% (five percent). 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 Mesa Cadde?
Mesa Cadde is a residential and retail project on Bağdat Avenue in Maltepe, developed by the Mesa-Caba-Aslan joint venture formed by Mesa Mesken, Caba İnşaat and Aslan Yapı. It sits on a plot of about 11,669 m² that used to hold a CarrefourSA shopping centre; the partners bought the land for 88 million TL.

Sources give the number of blocks as either 4 or 5; the developer's statements during the sales period refer to 4 blocks. The planned completion date varies between 2019 and 2020 depending on the source; the exact handover year is not clear from public sources. Current listings give the neighbourhood as Feyzullah; some project pages write the address as Maltepe Mah.
What makes Mesa Cadde stand out?
The project's main draw is that it is a new gated complex on Bağdat Avenue, within walking distance of the seafront. During the sales period most units were advertised as having sea and Princes' Islands views; according to Milliyet, the project won an award at the European Property Awards in the multi-unit residential architecture category.

How much are apartments for sale in Mesa Cadde?
In October 2026 the three sale listings we checked in the project ranged from $239,000 (two hundred thirty-nine thousand dollars) to $665,000 (six hundred sixty-five thousand dollars). The asking price for a furnished 76 m² 1+1 with sea views on the 16th floor is 11,850,000 (eleven million eight hundred fifty thousand) TL. A 140 m² garden-floor 3+1 is listed at 31,500,000 (thirty-one million five hundred thousand) TL, and a 120 m² 3+1 with panoramic views on the 11th floor at 33,000,000 (thirty-three million) TL. We found no current listings for 2+1 or 4+1 units; prices for these types are available on request.
Sources: RE/MAX listings (16th-floor 1+1 76 m² 11,850,000 TL, P52023573; garden-floor 3+1 140 m² 31,500,000 TL, P50168843), Coldwell Banker listing (11th-floor 3+1 120 m² gross 33,000,000 TL, 373246). Apartments outside the project advertised as "next to Mesa Cadde" or "beside Mesa" were not counted. The garden-floor 3+1 listing says 110 m² net in its title and 140 m² in its data. The 449,000 TL starting price announced in the 2018 sales period is not current. Checked: 27 October 2026. Exchange rate: $1 = 49.6 TL (24 October 2026), figures rounded. Asking prices may include room for negotiation.
How does buying in Mesa Cadde 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 Mesa Cadde?
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 Mesa Cadde?
In October 2026 we found only one rental listing in the project: a furnished 1+1 at 50,000 (fifty thousand) TL a month, which is about $1,010 (one thousand ten dollars). We saw no current rental listings for other types, so the table below is based on a single listing.
Source: Emlakjet listing (furnished 1+1 in Mesa Cadde, 50,000 TL a month, Feyzullah Mah., listing no. 17479939). Checked: 27 October 2026. Exchange rate: $1 = 49.6 TL. Because it is based on one listing, it should not be read as a market average.
What is the rental yield at Mesa Cadde?
Only the 1+1 type has both a sale and a rental listing, so we could calculate the yield for this type alone: a monthly rent of 50,000 TL against a sale price of 11,850,000 TL gives a gross annual yield of about 5.1% (five point one percent). There are no rental listings for 2+1, 3+1 or 4+1 units, so their yield cannot be calculated. The figure rests on one sale listing and one rental listing; service charges and taxes are not deducted.
Can units in Mesa Cadde 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 Mesa Cadde?
Service charges at Mesa Cadde 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 Mesa Cadde?
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.
Based on asking prices at Mesa Cadde, 3+1 apartments meet the $400,000 threshold on their own; the cheapest 3+1 we checked is about $635,000. 1+1 apartments (~$239,000) fall below the threshold on their own. There are no current prices for 2+1 and 4+1 units, so we cannot say anything definite about these types. The figure used in the application is the value in the SPK-licensed valuation report; the title deed being issued in the buyer's name and the condominium status must be checked for each unit separately.
- 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.
What apartment types are there in Mesa Cadde?
The project has four unit types, from 1+1 to 4+1; according to sales-period information, gross areas range from about 76 m² to 229 m². Current listings show smaller areas for 3+1s (120 – 140 m²), so the area on the title deed should be checked before buying.
Sea views on upper floors; furnished listings available.
No current listing found in October 2026.
Garden-floor and high-floor options listed.

Is Mesa Cadde a good investment?
