What Is Your Rams City Haliç Apartment Worth?

For owners in the complex: what sets rent and sale value at Rams City Haliç while handovers continue and the developer is still selling.

This page covers what moves value here, the service charge, and how a letting or sale runs when you live abroad. Our office is in Bahçelievler, and we also market offices at Axis İstanbul in Topçular, a short distance from the complex.

What drives value in this complex

Rams City Haliç is one name on the portals, but it is being built and handed over in phases. Phase 1 alone is 603 flats in eight blocks, and the developer counts 1,772 flats across the project. So a 2+1 here has no single price; in order of weight, this is what separates one flat from the next:

  • Which phase, and how far along it is. Phase 1 handovers are under way, and the developer scheduled phase 2 for 2026. A flat with its keys handed over can be viewed, let and lived in today. In a phase still being delivered, your flat competes with new flats the developer is still selling.
  • Block and floor. Phase 1's eight blocks are ground + 10 or ground + 11 floors. At the same size, a ground-floor flat and one near the top differ in light, privacy and outlook. Which block and which floor are the first two things we ask.
  • Layout, and how many like it there are. Of the 603 flats in phase 1, 268 are 2+1s, so a 2+1 faces the most like-for-like competition. The 5+1 is the reverse, with 20 in the phase: few comparables and a narrower pool. Smaller layouts draw singles and couples; 3+1s and up draw families.
  • The TEM motorway cuts both ways. It is 270 metres from the site, a strong draw for an applicant who drives to work. On the side facing the motorway, applicants may ask about traffic noise at the viewing. Which effect wins depends on block and aspect, so we judge it flat by flat.
  • Timing against the handovers. The developer scheduled phase 2 for 2026. When a phase is handed over, many new and similar flats reach the letting market in the same months. An advert placed before or after that wave, not in the middle of it, faces less direct competition.

The neighbouring complexes the portals show alongside Rams City Haliç (Forev Modern Haliç, Via Life Eyüp, New Eyüp, Baharyaka Eyüpsultan) are useful for orientation, but they are not like-for-like comparables. So we value from inside the complex and give you the figure in writing, with its comparison table, rather than publishing a public "complex price".

Service charge (aidat): we confirm the figure before the advert goes live

We do not publish a service-charge figure for Rams City Haliç on this page. The charge is set by the management, changes at least once a year and differs by layout; copying an old figure off the internet is the sort of mistake every owner in the complex would catch at a glance. What we do instead: before the advert is written we get that month's figure for your layout from the management, put it in the advert, and quote the same number to every applicant who asks at a viewing.

This matters more than it sounds. After the rent, the service charge is the first thing an applicant asks about, and one that is missing from the advert starts a negotiation you did not need. In a Turkish tenancy the tenant normally pays it; the detail is in our guide on who pays the aidat. If you already know your complex's current figure, put it in the note with your valuation request and we will work from it.

What being in Topçular is worth

Rams City Haliç stands on the former Uzel tractor-factory site in Topçular, Eyüpsultan, on Edirnekapı Rami Caddesi. Despite the name, the Golden Horn is about 2 km away, so what draws tenants here is transport, not the water. The developer puts the metro and the tram two minutes away and the metrobus four. The TEM is 270 metres from the site, and a shopping centre is a five-minute walk.

That shapes the pool. Rail and the metrobus close by widen it to people who commute without a car; the TEM adds those who drive. On-site work rooms suit someone who works from home part of the week. The children's play areas and skate park weigh with families viewing the larger layouts.

For an owner, two things follow. First, a name with "Haliç" in it can draw applicants who expect the water, so our advert says plainly where Topçular is. Second, a tenant who drives to work will ask about parking, so the advert states how parking works for your flat.

With phase 1 handovers under way and phase 2 scheduled for 2026, every flat here is new. So we ask whether yours has been handed over and lived in, and what was added after the keys: white goods, air-conditioning, light fittings.

Thinking of selling?

A sale at Rams City Haliç differs from a letting in two ways, and each can work for or against you:

  • The developer's own new flats are your first competitor. While RAMS Global is still selling in the project, a buyer can weigh your flat against a brand-new one bought direct. A resale wins on what the developer cannot offer, such as a flat ready now or a floor it has already sold. The price has to be built on that advantage, not on the developer's price list.
  • The resale record is still short. Phase 1 handovers are under way, so the complex has had little time to build a record of completed resales. Where the record is thin, buyers quote asking prices back at you. We build the figure from sales that have completed, here and in the neighbouring complexes, and show you which comparables carry the weight.

Tick "sell it" on the valuation request and the appraisal comes back with sale comparables rather than rental ones, or with both if you are undecided. Worth reading first: selling your Istanbul property from abroad and why the declared price on the deed matters.

How it works if you live abroad

In a branded complex like Rams City Haliç a large share of owners do not live in Istanbul. The process is built to run remotely from the start, and you do not need to travel:

  • Valuation. A written market appraisal (not an SPK report) within one business day, from the layout, gross and net area, floor, aspect, kitchen and bathroom condition, air-conditioning and furnishing. If you are undecided between letting and selling we give you both figures; we have also written on what a yield actually tells you.
  • Keys. If the keys are with a relative in Istanbul, the site management or a property-management firm, we collect them against your signed key release letter and issue a handover record.
  • Listing authorisation. The e-Devlet (EİDS) authorisation takes two minutes and can be granted from abroad.
  • If your title deed does not show in e-Devlet. Bought as a foreigner and later became a Turkish citizen? The deed usually stays under your old identity, and the listing authorisation cannot be given. We run the identity match and then the removal of the three-year no-sale annotation for you. We have completed both in a single day at the land registry.
  • Photography and advertising. Professional photography, a boosted listing on our sahibinden.com store and applicant pre-screening; we run the viewings and send you a note after each one.
  • Lease and collection. Rent is paid through a bank. For signature there are three routes: a power of attorney at your nearest Turkish consulate, a wet-ink copy by courier, or the e-Devlet rental contract. On a sale the deed transfer runs on a power of attorney; see selling from abroad.

Finding a tenant costs you nothing: the letting fee is paid by the tenant. On a sale you pay our fee only when the sale completes, and we do not ask for exclusivity. If you want us to run the flat after the letting, property management starts at 5% of the rent collected: rent, repairs, the compulsory DASK earthquake insurance and the property-tax calendar in one place.

Frequently Asked

Questions about Rams City Haliç

What do apartments at Rams City Haliç rent or sell for?

We do not publish a figure for the complex. Here the phase is the main reason. A flat with its keys handed over and one in a phase still being delivered do not let or sell on the same terms. Tell us your phase, block, floor and layout, and within one business day you receive a written market appraisal (not an SPK report) with its comparables. It is for you alone and is never published.

Is Rams City Haliç on the Golden Horn?

No. 'Haliç' is Turkish for the Golden Horn, and here it is part of the marketing name. The complex is in Topçular, Eyüpsultan, about 2 km from the water. An early news report called it 'Rams City Eyüpsultan', and the portals file it under Eyüpsultan, matching the address. How we write the location into the advert is in the section above.

How much is the service charge (aidat) at Rams City Haliç?

We do not publish one. The management sets it and revises it at least once a year, and the amount differs by layout. Before the advert is written we get that month's figure for your layout and state it in the advert. In a Turkish tenancy the tenant normally pays it.

Can my flat join the Marriott apartments announced for the project?

Nothing published so far says it can. On 2 October 2026 RAMS announced a 100-unit Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy inside the project, for long stays. RAMS is both the investor and the franchise operator. No opening date was given, and the announcement does not describe a rental pool for owners' flats. Short-term or tourism letting depends on the unit's own licence; we handle long-term lets.

I live abroad — can you let or sell my apartment for me?

Yes, with no need to travel. If a relative, the site management or a property-management firm holds the keys, we collect them on your signed authorisation, with a handover record. Listing authorisation takes two minutes on e-Devlet. The lease runs on a consular power of attorney, a wet-ink copy by courier, or an e-Devlet rental contract. A sale's deed transfer runs on a power of attorney. On a letting the tenant pays our fee; on a sale you pay only when it completes; we do not ask for exclusivity.
