Spacious and upscale residences in a green, serene setting (Göktürk), yet with easy access to Istanbul’s major nodes.
Modern wellness‑oriented amenities.
Flexible unit types (from modest family‑sized up to large luxury units) with terraces, garden access, etc.

It’s especially suited to families, professionals, or investors seeking capital appreciation and a high quality of life outside very dense central zones but not too far from them.
All residential properties in Turkey are legally required to carry DASK, the state-backed compulsory earthquake insurance scheme, before a title deed transfer can be completed. Buyers at Referans Göktürk should factor the annual DASK premium into their ongoing ownership costs alongside any building service charges (aidat) levied for maintaining the development’s indoor pool, spa, sauna and landscaped grounds.
After choosing a unit and agreeing terms, buyers sign a sales contract and follow the agreed down payment and instalment schedule through to completion. Foreign buyers also need a military clearance check (askeri izin) confirming the property does not fall within a restricted zone, before title transfer is finalised at the Turkish Land Registry and Cadastre Directorate. Buyers pursuing a citizenship application should factor that process into their post-purchase timeline.
Before committing to a unit at Referans Göktürk, buyers should confirm current pricing and availability by block, floor and layout, the project’s up-to-date construction and handover status given the original Q3/Q4 2025 target has now passed, whether the purchase clears the $400,000 citizenship-by-investment threshold, and which specific units offer forest views, garden-floor access or a private pool. Working through this checklist with UInvest ahead of signing helps buyers align the purchase with both budget and residency planning.
Buyers considering a purchase at Referans Göktürk should confirm current financing options directly with UInvest, since payment structures for family-oriented, nature-adjacent developments can differ from standard off-plan projects. Both developer-led instalment plans — such as the 50% down payment with 24-month instalments referenced by some listings — and third-party mortgage financing are common routes for foreign buyers in Turkey.
Property in Turkey is typically priced with reference to both Turkish Lira, Euro and US Dollars, and buyers converting from foreign currency should be aware that the Lira has historically been more volatile than Gulf currencies pegged to the Dollar. Demographic and construction-sector statistics published by TÜİK, Turkey’s official statistics institute, offer a useful independent reference point for buyers assessing long-term demand fundamentals in Göktürk and the wider Eyüpsultan district.
With an indoor pool, fitness and yoga studios, a spa and sauna, and extensive landscaped gardens across 9 low-rise blocks, Referans Göktürk operates under an on-site building management structure funded through the aidat service charge. Buyers should confirm the current rate directly with UInvest before signing, since low-rise, amenity-rich developments of this kind typically carry a service charge reflective of their wellness-oriented specification.
This development suits buyers who want a family-oriented, nature-adjacent home close to Istanbul Airport and Bahçeşehir University’s new campus — professionals and families drawn to the forest setting and low-rise, 6-floor architecture, and investors targeting Turkish citizenship eligibility. The broad unit range, from 2+1 apartments through to 4.5+1 duplexes with garden-floor and private-pool options, gives Referans Göktürk appeal across very different buyer profiles.
With a children’s playground, landscaped gardens, pet-friendly walking areas and proximity to Florence Nightingale and Acıbadem hospitals, Referans Göktürk is purpose-built for families relocating to Istanbul’s greener, quieter Eyüpsultan district. The development’s low-rise, 6-floor design also gives it a more intimate, less crowded feel than Istanbul’s denser high-rise stock.
Buyers evaluating Referans Göktürk against other Istanbul projects available through UInvest should also consider Referans Beşiktaş, a sister project from the same developer team in a more central, Bosphorus-adjacent setting, and Hayat Vision in Pendik for a broader picture of pricing and positioning across the city. For current market data, see our Turkish real estate market statistics and trends.
With the project’s original Q3/Q4 2025 completion target now behind it, buyers in 2026 should request an up-to-date construction status from UInvest before committing — a step that applies to any development nearing or past its original handover date. For buyers targeting Turkish citizenship eligibility or a nature-adjacent family home near Istanbul Airport, confirming current status is the key first step. For a broader view of market timing, see our guide to property investment in Dubai vs. Turkey.
Göktürk’s combination of forest-adjacent green space, proximity to Istanbul Airport, and the new Bahçeşehir University campus supports strong potential rental demand from both families and university-linked tenants. Buyers should confirm current achievable rents for their specific unit type directly with UInvest, and factor in aidat service charges and annual DASK premiums when calculating net yield.
Göktürk has grown into an increasingly established Istanbul district, offering a widening pool of comparable transactions as new developments like Referans Göktürk reach completion. Buyers should confirm current comparable resale transactions directly with UInvest when underwriting a purchase, particularly for the development’s larger duplex and garden-floor units.
Turkey’s citizenship-by-investment programme, introduced in 2017, allows foreign nationals who purchase real estate worth at least $400,000 to apply for citizenship for themselves and their immediate family, provided the property is held for a minimum retention period set by the government. Applicants typically need a valuation report confirming the property meets the threshold, proof of payment through the Turkish banking system, and a clean criminal record. UInvest can walk buyers through the current documentation requirements and timeline for a qualifying purchase at Referans Göktürk.
Göktürk, part of Istanbul’s Eyüpsultan district on the European side, has developed a reputation as one of the city’s greener, more family-oriented residential pockets, combining forest views with strong connectivity via the M11 metro line and proximity to Istanbul Airport. Its mix of low-rise residential developments and nearby retail hubs like Vadi İstanbul gives it a different character from Istanbul’s denser central districts.
Because Referans Göktürk’s original completion target has now passed, buyers should treat confirming current construction and delivery status as the essential first step before reserving. UInvest can provide buyers with the latest confirmed status directly from the developer, including any revised timeline for the remaining blocks.
Beyond the agreed purchase price, buyers in Turkey should budget for the title deed transfer fee, typically shared between buyer and seller, along with the mandatory DASK earthquake insurance premium and any applicable notary or translation costs for foreign buyers completing paperwork through a power of attorney. UInvest can provide buyers with a full breakdown of these associated costs of buying property in Turkey ahead of signing.
Referans Göktürk tends to attract two main buyer groups: citizenship-focused investors drawn to its qualifying price point and family-friendly positioning, and end-users seeking a quieter, nature-adjacent home with strong Istanbul Airport connectivity. Both groups benefit from the same underlying advantage — a low-rise, wellness-oriented development in one of Istanbul’s more established green districts.
