As Uskumruköy

A New Development in Sarıyer

As Uskumruköy is a gated villa community by AS Yapı, set in the Uskumruköy quarter of Sarıyer along the forested northern edge of Istanbul's European side. Laid out across roughly 8,000 square meters, the project is organized as ten blocks of two villas each, delivering twenty detached homes cocooned in greenery and privacy. The architecture is deliberately contemporary, using high-quality materials while leaning into the calm of its natural surroundings rather than competing with it. Practical comforts underpin the lifestyle, with 24-hour security and dedicated parking making daily routines effortless. The Sarıyer setting is prized for its low-density, quiet character, and residents remain within reach of the Belgrad Forest, the Bosphorus's coastal villages and the broader city, blending seclusion with the option of urban connection whenever it is wanted.

Location & Connectivity

Sarıyer occupies the green, northern reach of Istanbul's European side, where the Belgrad Forest and the Bosphorus shoreline define the landscape. Uskumruköy is a quiet, upscale enclave near Zekeriyaköy, favored for its clean air, woodland and spacious, low-rise living well away from the density of the center. Despite the tranquil setting, the location keeps the city within reach: the business towers of Maslak and Levent lie to the south, and the coastal Bosphorus villages of Sarıyer, with their fish restaurants, tea gardens and ferry piers, are a short drive away. Forest trails, riding clubs and international schools cluster across this part of the district, reinforcing its reputation as a family-oriented address. The result is a retreat that trades congestion for nature without giving up access to Istanbul's professional and social core.

Homes & Amenities

Every residence is a generous 5+1 villa arranged over three floors, with internal areas ranging from about 192 to 250 square meters and a private garden attached to each home. The layouts are built for family life, offering distinct zones for living, sleeping and entertaining across the levels, while the gardens extend the usable space outdoors. Buyers can choose how finished they want their home: a shell-and-core handover invites full personalization of the interiors, or a turnkey option arrives complete with designer decoration packages for those who prefer to move straight in. With only twenty houses on roughly 8,000 square meters, plot sizes and separation between neighbors are comfortable. Round-the-clock security and dedicated parking round out a package designed for privacy, space and a green, restful everyday rhythm.

Investment Potential

Detached villas in a green, gated Sarıyer setting occupy a scarce and resilient niche in Istanbul's market, where demand for space, privacy and nature has grown sharply. The small run of just twenty homes limits supply, a quality that tends to protect value over time, while the prestige of the Uskumruköy address supports both resale and premium rental interest. Flexible finishing choices let buyers match the property to their own plans, whether for personal use or lease.

Turkish Citizenship by Investment

• A purchase in this project can support a Turkish citizenship application only if the specific property meets the legal conditions: an official valuation report of at least USD 400,000, payment through the Turkish banking system, a three-year no-sale annotation on the title deed and a seller who is not a foreign national.
• Eligibility depends on the individual unit and the transaction, so it is confirmed case by case and cannot be assumed for the project as a whole. As your broker, we check these points for the property you are considering. Our guide to Turkish citizenship by investment explains the full process.
