Bay İnşaat acquired the land in 1999, started construction in 2000 and completed the project in 2003; according to the developer, sales were completed in 2001. Its mechanical contractor describes it as the first luxury residential complex in the İstinye area.

According to the mechanical contractor's project page, İstinye Konakları has a project area of about 25,000 m² on 22,000 m² of land.

How much are villas and duplexes for sale in İstinye Konakları?
There is no verified public price for İstinye Konakları as of October 2026; current prices are shared on request. With only 38 units in the complex, very few listings come to market, and the twin villa listing we found does not show a price. For context, Emlakjet's October 2026 market summary for İstinye Mahallesi shows an average of 308,460 TL per m²; this is a neighbourhood average, not a project price.
Checked: Emlakjet, Hepsiemlak, Trovit, Asist Yeniköy and Panorama İstanbul listings (October 2026). The Hepsiemlak and Panorama İstanbul pages could not be accessed, and Sahibinden blocks automated access. Historical note: in October 2012 the Istanbul 10th Enforcement Office put 2 duplexes in the complex up for sale for a combined 3.7 million TL; this price is not current.
How does buying in İstinye Konakları 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 İstinye Konakları?
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 villas for rent in İstinye Konakları?
No rental listings with prices were found for İstinye Konakları, so there are too few to publish a range. We share current rents on request.
What is the rental yield at İstinye Konakları?
As there is neither a verified sale price nor rental data for the same home type, the rental yield at İstinye Konakları cannot be calculated reliably yet.
Can units in İstinye Konakları 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.

By law, buyer and seller pay 2% each; the parties may agree otherwise.
A fixed fee charged for the title deed transaction.
