Buying and Selling Factories and Industrial Property in Istanbul
Istanbul’s industrial property market offers opportunities for foreign manufacturers and investors looking to acquire production facilities, warehouses, and logistics centers. This guide covers buying and selling factories in Istanbul’s organized industrial zones (OSB), free zones, and standalone industrial areas. We explain the different types of industrial property — from ready-built factories with utilities to raw land that must be developed — and the zoning regulations that govern each. You will learn about environmental compliance requirements, building permits for industrial use, and the transfer of operating licenses. We also cover valuation methods for industrial property, the impact of location on logistics costs, and the tax incentives available in designated industrial zones. Practical checklists help you navigate the acquisition process.
