DAP Yeni Levent, 3+1 Family Apartment for Sale in Levent, Istanbul

A 3+1 apartment in DAP Yeni Levent, at Seyrantepe in Sarıyer, Istanbul, from $1,542,000. The type runs from 185 m² to 361 m² of gross area and up to $3,479,000, and includes duplexes as well as single-floor plans — this is the size at which the project stops being a flat with a view of a garden and starts being a house that happens to be in Levent.

It is a family plan on a family site. DAP kept 103,000 m² down to 53,000 m² of building across 16 low-rise blocks, so 950 homes sit in something closer to a park than a compound: roughly three football pitches of landscape, a 50,000 m² wooded grove next door with a school inside it, and a site plan that lists a children's pool beside the main swimming pool, a playground, an orchard the developer calls the vitamin garden, a themed garden, a glass house, rest areas set among the trees and a step-free route linking the lot. There is a lake and a lily pond. Children here grow up with somewhere to go that is not a screen.

The schools and the hospitals are as close as the offices. İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Atlas and İstinye universities are 6 minutes each; Levent Hospital is 5, Seyrantepe Hospital 7 and Maslak Acıbadem 8. Seyrantepe metro station is 1 minute from the gate, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge 3 and the Boğaziçi bridge 5, and Istanbul Airport 25. Kanyon is 4 minutes, İstinye Park 5, Zorlu Center 6. Büyükdere Caddesi begins about 1,500 metres away, a private tunnel connects the site directly to the TEM, and the land stands 35 metres above the motorway.

Indoors, the 1,650 m² social facility carries a covered pool, a gym and pilates studio, lounges and a dining room, and the 48 shops on the ground floor make up Yeni Levent Çarşı — the daily errand does not require the car. The finishes are the ones in these photographs: the show flat is complete and can be visited, its living room opening onto its own garden through full-height glazing.

The blocks meet the current earthquake regulations, in C-35 concrete with ribbed reinforcement and heavy thermal and acoustic insulation. DAP Gayrimenkul Geliştirme has been building since 1999 — over 15,000 homes and more than 2,500,000 m² — and is listed on Borsa İstanbul; Emlak Konut is the partner on Yeni Levent. The price is comfortably above the $400,000 that Turkish citizenship by investment requires. Send us the floor, the aspect and the block you would like and we will come back with what is available.
