Şehr-i Deniz Prices and Details 2026
Hürriyet, Kartal, Istanbul
Şehr-i Deniz asking prices we could see in October 2026 start at $178,000 (one hundred seventy-eight thousand dollars): an April 2026 portal price list shows a 140 m² 2+1 from that figure and a 150 m² 3+1 from $182,000 (one hundred eighty-two thousand dollars), while a 176 m² single-level 3+1 on emlakjet is priced at 12,500,000 (twelve million five hundred thousand) TL, or about $252,000 (two hundred fifty-two thousand dollars). The project sits on Özkan Sokak in Hürriyet Mahallesi, on the Yakacık side of Kartal, and was built as a joint venture of Demkay Yapı and Almara İnşaat. Two 23-storey towers on a 6,360 m² plot hold 176 (one hundred seventy-six) flats, and there are also 4 (four) villas. The flats are ready to move in; according to emlakjet, 94% (ninety-four percent) of units are sold, so few remain. The upper floors look out over the Sea of Marmara and the Princes' Islands, and the E-5 and the metro are a few minutes away. 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 Şehr-i Deniz?
Şehr-i Deniz is a gated complex of two residential towers and four villas, developed jointly by Demkay Yapı and Almara İnşaat in Hürriyet Mahallesi, Kartal. According to the sources, two 23-storey blocks stand on a 6,360 m² plot; there are 176 homes in total and the project is sold as ready to move in. Emlakjet gives the project area as 29,700 m² and the total unit area as 142,050 m²; read together with the plot size these figures look inconsistent, so treat them with caution. Some foreign portals spell the name "Şehir Deniz" or "Sehr-i Deniz". Kuzey Adalar Kartal, in the same district, is a separate project.

The completion year is unclear: one portal gives 31 October 2021, but the same field also appears blank on that page.
What are the building and site features of Şehr-i Deniz?
Şehr-i Deniz has a mixed layout with two high-rise towers and four detached villas inside the same complex. Sources mention a four-level car park, about 80% of the site set aside as green space, and balconies or terraces in the flats; the architect, structural system and interior materials are not given in public sources.

How much are flats for sale in Şehr-i Deniz?
The lowest current price we could see in Şehr-i Deniz is $178,000 (one hundred seventy-eight thousand dollars) for a 140 m² 2+1; 150 m² 3+1 flats start from $182,000 (one hundred eighty-two thousand dollars). These figures come from Deal Real Estate's price table dated 14 April 2026; the same table shows $91,000 (ninety-one thousand dollars) for a 72 m² 1+1, but that type is marked as sold. On emlakjet, a 176 m² single-level 3+1 is priced at 12,500,000 (twelve million five hundred thousand) TL, or about $252,000 (two hundred fifty-two thousand dollars); that works out to roughly 71,000 TL or $1,430 (one thousand four hundred thirty dollars) per square metre. Compared with the 66,788 – 72,938 TL/m² average emlakjet gives for Hürriyet Mahallesi, this listing is at the upper end of the neighbourhood range. No prices were found for the villas; they are on request.

How does buying in Şehr-i Deniz 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 Şehr-i Deniz?
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 flats for rent in Şehr-i Deniz?
We could not find any rental listing for Şehr-i Deniz live on 27 October 2026, so we cannot give a current rent figure for the project. As a general guide for the area, emlakjet shows an average payback period of 14 – 15 years for Hürriyet Mahallesi; this is a neighbourhood average and is not a direct measure for a flat in Şehr-i Deniz.
Source: emlakjet Kartal Hürriyet Mahallesi page (27 October 2026); Trovit Kartal rental pages (27 October 2026), no rental listing for the project found.
What is the rental yield in Şehr-i Deniz?
The rental yield for Şehr-i Deniz cannot be calculated at the moment, because there is no verified pair of sale and rental listings for the same flat type in the project. Once a concrete rent offer is available, gross yield can be worked out by dividing the annual rent by the sale price.
Can units in Şehr-i Deniz 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 Şehr-i Deniz?
Service charges at Şehr-i Deniz 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 Şehr-i Deniz?
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.
None of the flats with a visible price in Şehr-i Deniz meets the $400,000 threshold on its own: 2+1 flats start at about $178,000 and the most expensive 3+1 listing is about $252,000. The threshold could only be reached by buying two flats together or with one of the villas, whose prices are not published; this also depends on the current price and the value in the licensed valuation report. For a resale flat, it should also be checked whether the property has already been used for a citizenship application.
- 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.

Is Şehr-i Deniz a good investment?
Şehr-i Deniz is worth a look for buyers who want a 2+1 or 3+1 in a completed complex with pools on the Asian side, close to Sabiha Gökçen and Pendik; but since most units are sold and prices come from a small number of sources, any investment case should be built on a concrete offer.

- Completed complex, no construction risk
- Sea and Princes' Islands views from the upper floors
- Generous amenities: outdoor and indoor pools, sports courts
- About 12 – 15 minutes to Sabiha Gökçen

Before buying, the title deed record, occupancy permit (iskân), condominium status and any mortgages or annotations should be checked as part of a title deed review; a valuation report should be obtained to see whether the price reflects real value, and if there is an instalment plan, its terms should be reviewed by a lawyer at the sales contract stage.
