Beşiktaş Levazım Saklıkent Houses: A Secluded and Peaceful Life in the City Center

A property owner looking to sell their apartment at Saklıkent Evleri in the Levazım neighborhood of Beşiktaş contacted me to determine the property's current market value and identify the right buyer profile. Saklıkent Evleri is located in Levazım, Beşiktaş, adjacent to the Yooİstanbul Residences and the Petrol-İş Complex. The strongest impression I took away from my visit to Saklıkent Evleri was this: for a moment, I felt as though I were in Zekeriyaköy or Kemer Country.

We are in the process of forming a strategic partnership with a London-based family office regarding the Beşiktaş Premium Residences.

A London-based family office contacted us last week regarding the strategic marketing and sales process for a portfolio of premium residence apartments in Beşiktaş, Istanbul. Over the last three months, we have observed a notable increase in direct inquiries from international real estate investors interested in Beşiktaş. We believe this engagement with a London-based family office represents an important new step in our international marketing and sales activities within the Beşiktaş premium real estate market.

Farmhouse Cluster on the Silivri–Çatalca Axis: Prominent Locations

In my opinion, a farmhouse investment—situated close to Istanbul amidst nature, offering a tranquil environment and comprehensive lifestyle amenities, all while being reasonably priced—could appeal to the relevant investor demographic. The areas where such farmhouses are clustered lie along the border between the Çatalca and Silivri districts. Investing in farmhouses can be an attractive option for family offices, international investors, and premium investors, offering both lucrative return potential and investment diversification—provided, of course, that the investment is backed by a sound feasibility study.
