Altınoluk Urban Transformation 2026: Coastal Stock

Altınoluk’s Seafront and Hillside Building Stock

In Altınoluk, old apartment blocks on the seafront sit alongside a mixed-age stock of summer homes on the hillside. Some of the early buildings are candidates for renewal under the current earthquake code.

The area’s strong demand means that new flats with sea/mountain views quickly find buyers after transformation, which speeds up the return on transformation in Altınoluk.

When View and Demand Come Together in Altınoluk

In Altınoluk, new projects that make good use of the sea and Kaz Mountains views are valued far more highly than old buildings. The constant demand from retiree and summer-home buyers makes transformed flats stand out in the market.

The Urban Transformation Process (Summary)

Risky Building AssessmentAn organisation licensed by the Ministry inspects the building and reports its earthquake risk. Even a single owner can apply.

Objection and FinalisationThe report is recorded at the land registry office (tapu müdürlüğü) and served on the owners. Once the objection period ends, the assessment becomes final.

Owners’ DecisionFor a risky building, the transformation/demolition decision is taken by a simple majority of the owners (at the rate currently set by the legislation), and the contractor/method is chosen.

Demolition and ReconstructionAfter the building is vacated it is demolished; the new project is built in line with the current Turkish Building Earthquake Code (Türkiye Bina Deprem Yönetmeliği, TBDY).

State SupportRent assistance and/or interest-subsidised loans may become available during the process. For current amounts and conditions, consult the relevant authority.
