3S Kale Topaz Residence Prices and Details 2026
Maltepe Mahallesi (Topkapı), Zeytinburnu, Istanbul
3S Kale Topaz Residence had a lowest advertised sale price of $134,000 (one hundred thirty-four thousand dollars) in 2026, quoted in March 2026 for a 103 m² 2+1. The project was built and completed by 3S Kale Holding in Maltepe Mahallesi, on the Topkapı side of Zeytinburnu. It has 228 (two hundred twenty-eight) apartments and 14 (fourteen) shops on a plot of about 9,100 m², with 1+1 and 2+1 layouts. Being a short walk from the Cevizlibağ tram and metrobus stops helps on the rental side: in October 2026 a 60 m² 1+1 was listed at 65,000 TL a month, about $1,310 (one thousand three hundred ten dollars). Because the developer has largely sold out, the current price is set by 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.

How does buying in 3S Kale Topaz Residence 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 3S Kale Topaz Residence?
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.

What is the rental yield in 3S Kale Topaz Residence?
The rental yield cannot be calculated right now because there is no sale and rent listing for the same type: the 1+1 has a rent listing but no 2026 sale price, and the 2+1 has a sale price but no rent listing. For a real figure, current sale and rent listings for the same type need to be checked together.
Can units in 3S Kale Topaz Residence 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 3S Kale Topaz Residence?
Service charges at 3S Kale Topaz Residence 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.

Can you get Turkish citizenship by buying in 3S Kale Topaz Residence?
