We have built and finished our houses, and we will deliver and send our first houses to our citizens of Istanbul."
THE GOAL IS TO LOWER RENTAL PRICES
Stating that one of the main goals of the project is the increasing rental prices in Istanbul, Kurum said they aim to support citizens with low income. Kurum stated, "We consider this project important in terms of lowering rental prices and rents in Istanbul and supporting our low-income citizens."
