Ormanköy Çekmeköy Prices and Details 2026
Güngören – Taşdelen, Çekmeköy, Istanbul
Ormanköy Çekmeköy apartment prices start from $257,000 (two hundred fifty-seven thousand dollars) based on the current listing we reviewed; a 2+1 flat with 138 m² gross area was listed in June 2026 for 12,750,000 (twelve million seven hundred fifty thousand) TL. The project sits in the Taşdelen – Güngören area of Çekmeköy on Istanbul's Asian side and is the first project of the "Healthy Homes" concept that DAP Yapı developed with Eltes İnşaat on land owned by Emlak Konut GYO. Around 90% (ninety percent) of the roughly 200,000 (two hundred thousand) m² site is green space; ground-plus-five-storey blocks hold flats from 1+1 to 5+1, plus garden villas and terrace lofts. The project is complete and the developer has sold out its homes, so only resale listings are available today. Because few listings have verifiable prices, other unit types are priced on request. Property Time Istanbul's office is at Skyland in Sarıyer; all legal steps of the purchase are handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.

How much are apartments for sale in Ormanköy Çekmeköy?
The only current on-site listing with a verifiable price at Ormanköy Çekmeköy is a 2+1 flat on the 3rd floor with 138 m² gross area, asking 12,750,000 (twelve million seven hundred fifty thousand) TL, or about $257,000 (two hundred fifty-seven thousand dollars). That works out to roughly $1,860 (one thousand eight hundred sixty dollars) per square metre. We found no current listings with visible prices for 1+1, 3+1, 4+1, 5+1, garden duplex or terrace loft units, so these are priced on request. Flats advertised as "opposite" or "next to" the project are not included in the table because they are outside the site.

A 2+1 garden flat listed by Turyap appears on emlakjet at 7,850,000 TL, but it was left out of the table because we could not access its listing date. Area ranges come from the 2020 launch price list (EmlakDream, 13 June 2020). Exchange rate: $1 = 49.6 TL (24 October 2026), rounded. Prices are asking prices and may change with negotiation.

How does buying in Ormanköy Çekmeköy 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 Ormanköy Çekmeköy?
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 Ormanköy Çekmeköy?
We could not find a rental listing inside Ormanköy Çekmeköy with a verifiable price, so we do not give a rent table. A 128 m² 2+1 rental flat appears in one agency's portfolio, but we could not access its price. For reference: in a building right next to the project a 95 m² 2+1 flat is listed at 32,000 TL a month (about $645), and in nearby Goldenpark Evleri a 120 m² 3+1 flat is listed at 55,000 TL a month (about $1,110). Flats inside the site usually rent above these figures because of the amenities; ask us for current rents.

What is the rental yield at Ormanköy Çekmeköy?
The rental yield at Ormanköy Çekmeköy cannot be calculated at the moment, because there is no on-site listing that shows both a sale and a rent price for the same unit type. Comparing off-site rents with on-site sale prices would be misleading. If you are buying as an investment, get an on-site rent check from local agents before you buy.
Can units in Ormanköy Çekmeköy 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 Ormanköy Çekmeköy?
Service charges at Ormanköy Çekmeköy 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 Ormanköy Çekmeköy?
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.
The 2+1 flat we found at Ormanköy Çekmeköy (about $257,000) is below the $400,000 threshold and is not enough for citizenship on its own. The units that could meet the threshold are the large 4+1, 5+1 and garden duplex flats, but their current prices are not public. What counts for citizenship is the valuation by a CMB-licensed appraiser; before buying, check whether the valuation exceeds $400,000. Several flats can also be bought together to reach the threshold.
- 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.
