Which is the best value per square metre?

Marina Residences in Beylikdüzü at roughly $2,080/m² — less than a quarter of the most expensive on the list. The trade-off is distance from the centre.

European or Asian side?

European carries the premium and the deeper international resale market. Asian gives more space for the money and houses a large share of domestic demand. Seven of these projects are European, four Asian.

Why is the cheapest ticket not the cheapest apartment?

Because entry prices reflect the smallest unit. JW Marriott Tarabya is third-cheapest to buy but its entry unit is 38 m², making it the second-dearest per square metre on the list.
