Kağıthane — Istanbul’s Fastest-Appreciating European District

Frequently Asked Questions — Dora Vadi Kağıthane

What is the starting price for apartments at Dora Vadi Kağıthane?

Dora Vadi offers 1+1 apartments starting from $213,000 USD for 74 sqm units. This represents one of the most competitive entry points for a new-build metro-adjacent project in a central Istanbul European-side district. Prices are denominated in USD and fixed at the contract exchange rate.

Is Dora Vadi eligible for Turkish Citizenship by Investment?

The Turkish Citizenship by Investment programme requires a minimum property purchase of $400,000 USD. Dora Vadi 2+1 and 3+1 units above this threshold are fully eligible. For investors combining multiple units or targeting the larger configurations, citizenship eligibility should be confirmed with Rexa Invest’s legal team at the time of purchase, as programme requirements may be updated by the Turkish government.

When is Dora Vadi expected to be completed?

Dora Vadi is scheduled for delivery in Q2 2027. The developer, a well-established Kağıthane construction company with a strong track record of on-time delivery, commenced construction in 2025. Title deeds (TAPU) will be transferred to buyers upon full payment and project completion.

What is the rental yield potential at Dora Vadi?

Based on current Kağıthane rental market data, 1+1 units at Dora Vadi are projected to achieve gross rental yields of 9–11% annually. The combination of metro adjacency, forest views, and proximity to the district’s major corporate employers creates durable rental demand from both long-term professional tenants and short-term furnished rental guests.

What is the payment plan structure?

How does Kağıthane compare to Şişli as an investment location?

Kağıthane offers very similar metro connectivity and corporate tenant demand to Şişli, at property prices that are 30–40% lower. For yield-focused investors, Kağıthane consistently outperforms Şişli due to this price differential relative to market rents. For capital appreciation, Kağıthane is at an earlier stage of its gentrification cycle, providing greater upside potential than the more mature Şişli market.
