Orman İstanbul Prices and Details 2026
Hamidiye, Kağıthane, Istanbul
Orman İstanbul apartments for sale start at $520,000 (five hundred twenty thousand dollars); on property portals, 2+1 flats of 122 – 143 m² gross are listed from $588,000 (five hundred eighty-eight thousand dollars) and 199 m² 3+1 flats from $963,000 (nine hundred sixty-three thousand dollars). The project sits on the Hamidiye side of Kağıthane, along the TEM motorway opposite Vadi İstanbul, and looks out over the Belgrad Forest. The developer is Imperium Gayrimenkul ve İnşaat A.Ş., founded in 2015. Three phases are planned on a site of about 20,000 m²; the first phase has 2 blocks and 110 homes on roughly 5,000 m². Portals show the project as "ready" and the developer's stock as "sold", so buyers today choose from a small number of listings. Payment plans in the listings start with a 50% (fifty percent) down payment. 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 Orman İstanbul?
Orman İstanbul is a forest-view housing project developed by Imperium Gayrimenkul ve İnşaat A.Ş. beside the TEM motorway in Kağıthane, opposite Vadi İstanbul. The company was founded in 2015 by a team that previously worked at Mesa Group, and it has already completed Imperium No1 Residence in Kağıthane. According to a May 2024 report in Para magazine, the shell of the first phase was finished and handover was planned for the end of 2024. Some portals present the project as a partnership between Imperium and Reliance.

The sources do not name the neighbourhood; Hamidiye is inferred from the project's position across the TEM from Vadi İstanbul and from Hamidiye Secondary School, which deal-tr mentions nearby.

What are the phases and technical features of Orman İstanbul?
Orman İstanbul was planned in three phases, and the public information covers only the first. Phase 1 has 110 homes in two blocks; each flat comes with its own 8 – 12 m² storage room and as many parking spaces as it has bedrooms. The project was built on rocky ground, and about three quarters of the land is set aside for landscaping and shared facilities.

How much are apartments for sale in Orman İstanbul?
The lowest price at Orman İstanbul is $520,000 (five hundred twenty thousand dollars); 2+1 flats are listed from $588,000 (five hundred eighty-eight thousand dollars) and 3+1 flats from $963,000 (nine hundred sixty-three thousand dollars). That works out at roughly $4,800 (four thousand eight hundred dollars) per square metre. The listing with the $520,000 starting price does not state the flat type; since 2+1 is the smallest type, we placed it in the 2+1 row. No price or size has been published for the 4+1 flats. Listings show a 50% (fifty percent) down payment, the balance in 18 or 24 instalments, and a 10% (ten percent) discount for cash.

The sources quote prices in dollars, so no currency conversion was made; TL exchange rate for reference: $1 = 49.6 TL (24 October 2026). emlakplatform shows an average of $3,118 per m², which does not match the listing prices. On 27 October 2026 we found no current listings under the project name on sahibinden, emlakjet or hepsiemlak. VAT (1%) and title deed costs (4%) are not included in the price (emlakplatform). Prices are asking prices and may change in negotiation.
How does buying in Orman İstanbul 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 Orman İstanbul?
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 Orman İstanbul?
We found no rental listings for Orman İstanbul on the portals we checked as of 27 October 2026, so there is no rent table and rental prices are on request. emlakplatform gives an average monthly rent of $1,595 (one thousand five hundred ninety-five dollars) for Kağıthane as a whole, but that is a district average and is not a direct comparison for new forest-view flats of more than 122 m².
Source: searches on sahibinden, emlakjet, hepsiemlak, realting and emlakplatform.com.tr (27 October 2026). The district average comes from the investment analysis section of emlakplatform.com.tr.
What is the rental yield at Orman İstanbul?
The rental yield at Orman İstanbul cannot be calculated at the moment, because there are no sale and rental listings for the same type. emlakplatform puts the expected annual yield at 5% (five percent), but this is a portal estimate and is not based on actual listings. A reliable figure needs current lease contracts for the same type in the same block.
Can units in Orman İstanbul 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 Orman İstanbul?
Service charges at Orman İstanbul 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 Orman İstanbul?
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 flat type at Orman İstanbul with a published price meets the $400,000 citizenship threshold on its own; even the lowest listing, a 2+1 at $520,000, is about $120,000 above it. The application is based on the value in the licensed valuation report and the sale price on the title deed. emlakplatform shows the title as kat irtifakı (construction servitude); occupancy permit (iskân) and conversion to full condominium title should be checked before buying.
- 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.
