Noting that they will speed up the construction of the second phase of the New Levent project next year, DAP Holding Chairman of the Board Ziya Yılmaz said, “On the other hand, we are starting the work of five new projects, namely Pendik, Ataşehir, Beykoz, Çeşme and Maşukiye.” Stating that Ataşehir will be the upper segment, Yılmaz said that the project in Pendik will cover more than 2 thousand residences and that they will establish a ‘luxury village’ in Maşukiye. Ziya Yılmaz, who also gave information about the new projects that will be realized in Çeşme, one of the most important destinations of Turkish tourism, with the DAP brand, said, “Our Çeşme project is a project by the sea, in the center of Çeşme, with a private bay, within walking distance of the marina. I can already say that we will realize one of the most original projects of the Mediterranean dish.” Deliveries will be made in Nişantaşı this year. Ziya Yılmaz, who said that Turkey showed a successful performance in terms of both growth and investments in 2022, said, “The year 2022; It was a year in which successful results were achieved for all DAP brands, especially DAP Yapı and DAP Gayrimenkul Geliştirme, and new investments were made.” Stating that they delivered the Ormanköy project, which had a promised delivery time of 36 months in 2022, in a period of 24 months, Yılmaz said, “We continued the ‘early delivery tradition’, which has now become an EAP tradition, despite all the difficulties of the pandemic process. In addition, we implemented the second example of the ‘Healthy Homes’ concept, which has become registered both in Turkey and in Europe, in our Nişantaşı Koru project. We will deliver our Nişantaşı Koru project in 2023”. Yılmaz said that they started fast in New Levent and that they plan to deliver before the deadline. Yılmaz said: “The New Levent project developed by DAP Gayrimenkul Geliştirme is located in the Levent region, which is located in the heart of Istanbul’s business, life and finance center, within a total area of 103 thousand 500 square meters; It draws attention with its 53 thousand 500 square meters of housing and 50 thousand square meters of woodland, which also includes a school. With the New Levent project; We bring the country lifestyle, which we are accustomed to seeing outside the city, to the center of Istanbul by combining the concept of ‘Healthy Home’.” Yılmaz announced that their goal is to complete the New Levent project in 2024. “The project that unites the generations” Saying that New Levent is a very special project between Beşiktaş-Levent-Maslak, which is called the golden triangle of Istanbul, Yılmaz said, “Since the first day we were established; We are developing symbolic projects that will add value even after 40-50 years. New Levent is also a project that will be left as a legacy to our future, the product of our vision of ‘doing what has not been done’. The new Levent project provides access to all the riches of the city at the same time, from business centers to culture and arts, from education to health and entertainment. With this feature, it appeals to every generation and every generation; It offers a life that unites generations.” The best time to buy a house is today. Expressing that construction costs have also increased due to the global increase in commodity prices, Ziya Yılmaz said, “In two years, there has been an increase of 6 times in some items and up to 10 times in some items. Producing houses in this period is quite difficult and requires fine mathematics. Even the housing projects that are completed in the shortest time are not completed before 24 months. That’s why we, as branded housing manufacturers, cannot look at the daily costs. Costs in the real estate sector, ‘How much did commodity prices increase on an annual basis?’ it is not calculated. It is necessary to predict the cost of 24 months from now. The house builder should be doing this math, and the house buyer should see that these prices are ‘opportunity prices’. I’ve been saying this for years; ‘Yesterday is over to buy a house, tomorrow is too late. This is the right time!” he said.
