100 BIG-TICKET INVESTORS
100 large scale investors came together with their potential Turkish partners in the İstanbul Pavilion. ICOC made use of digital presentations to promote Turkey to the creme de la creme of the investor base. Presentations expanded on the theme of “Fall in love with İstanbul, and enjoy the magnificient Bosphorus as a real İstanbulite, with your Turkish passport”. Details of the recently introduced Citizenship by Investment Programme were shared with visitors to further elaborate on the advantages of enjoying İstanbul like a local.
THE CHARM OF İSTANBUL
President of the İstanbul Chamber of Commerce İbrahim Çağlar mentioned how ICOC aims to set an “İstanbullian Dream” particularly for the wealthy investors. Çağlar added: “We explained to the high net worth base that “the best and most profitable way to live in İstanbul is to purchase a “home” here. This is the only city in the world that spans on two continents. And it offers so much potential in high returns in many prestigious projects. Buying a house or a flat in İstanbul will allow you to win in more ways than one: first through capital gains and second by way of the Citizenship by Investment programme. The latter will make you a Turkish citizen and a real İstanbulite”.
FOCUSED ON INVESTMENT
Çağlar said: “We made use of our real estate pavilion to further enhance İstanbul’s image. İstanbul’s image as a great place to be has stayed in the minds and hearts of MIPIM visitors and we now want to reap its benefits through higher investment into this great city”.
President of the İstanbul Chamber of Commerce İbrahim Çağlar added that to counteract the effects of the July 15 failed coup attempt, ICOC made a conscious effort to highlight the motto “İstanbul: Two Continents, One City”, and designed the real estate pavilion in tandem with the spirit of this motto.
