In a sectoral investment conference in New York, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reiterated that achieving $100 billion trade annually between Türkiye and the United States is a shared target, with an emphasis on the position of the private sector in achieving it.
Erdoğan also called for removing obstacles and hindrances in bilateral defense-industry collaboration, stressing that this should be done "in the spirit of the alliance." He placed energy, cybersecurity, and space at the top of areas of cooperation.
He said that Türkiye is constructing an open, competitive, and secure market framework to attract investors, supported by robust logistics—new-generation ports along with high-standard highway and railroad networks—turning the country into a strategic center.
Why it matters to real estate
Greater capital flows across borders & company entries. More US corporations and vendors entering Türkiye—growing demand for Grade-A offices in CBD submarkets of Levent–Maslak–Şişli and high-end executive rentals.
Defense & tech spillovers. As defense restrictions ease, nearby sectors (advanced manufacturing, R&D, cybersecurity) can expand—enabling flex offices, labs, and advanced industrial/logistics space near ports and airports along the Marmara corridor.
Infrastructure edge. Türkiye's logistics backbone can drive new trade patterns, beneficial to last-mile warehouses and build-to-suit facilities for exporters/importers.
Gain Estates view
Short-term (0–6 months): Search for MoUs and pilot deals; tenants can experiment with flex and serviced offices before committing to longer leases.
Medium term (6–18 months): expect more mature office absorption in prime submarkets and selected industrial take-up near the main logistics rings.
Investor note: target institutional-grade offices with good ESG specs, and logistics properties with highway/port connectivity and footprints that can be expanded. Diversify with core-plus residences in well-connected central districts for executive homes.
