Selçuk Karcıoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Normkar İnşaat, said that Sasalı—one of the fastest-appreciating areas in the sector—has attracted nationwide interest with its high-end housing and villa projects.
Karcıoğlu noted that İzmir’s northern region is preferred both for investment and residence, adding that Sasalı offers many advantages at once with its proximity to organized industrial zones, educational and health institutions, and the ring road.
Pointing out that the first phase of the HomeSasalı project, which Normkar İnşaat completed last year, is very close to the city center, Selçuk Karcıoğlu stated that the villas were specially designed for those seeking a natural and detached lifestyle.
DEMAND FOR DETACHED LIVING HAS SOARED
Karcıoğlu said that life has begun at HomeSasalı and that they are pleased with the interest shown: “After the pandemic and the subsequent earthquakes, demand for detached living has risen sharply. Founded in 1991, Normkar has long been active not only in residential and commercial construction but also in the hospitality and software sectors. Sasalı provides homeowners with major advantages thanks to its clean air, proximity to natural recreation areas, and especially its location near educational and health institutions. When we started this project, our team wanted to create something different. We brought to life a special project distinguished by its architectural design, durability, comfort, and spaciousness. Its greatest feature is that it offers villas positioned to respect private life while still being within a gated community,” he said.
ONE OF İZMİR’S FASTEST-APPRECIATING AREAS
Continuing his remarks, Karcıoğlu said: “Built on 15 decares of land, our project offers all the privileges of detached life with a total of 21 villas equipped with an earthquake-resistant jet-grout system. In our project, there are eight Type-A villas, each with a private pool and garden on a total area of 800 square meters and a 6+1 layout, plus thirteen Type-B villas on 600-square-meter plots with a shared pool and garden. We also attach importance to social facilities. Wide streets, walking paths, rich landscaping, and a fitness center within the site enable your entire family to spend pleasant time. The road in front of the project will soon be turned into a dual carriageway, and the nearby stream will be improved and routed underground. In my opinion, Sasalı is one of İzmir’s fastest-valuing regions. You can see this by comparing land costs when we first arrived with today’s increases. We have delivered a highly valuable project that will earn its investors profit at the time of purchase. Seeing İzmir’s need for such a project, we made the investment decision. HomeSasalı quickly became a project of interest, especially for those seeking detached living. We also offer a payment plan of 60 percent down and the remainder in 12-month installments.”
SECOND PHASE ON THE WAY
Emphasizing that every detail in HomeSasalı is designed with spacious layouts and top-quality materials that offer ease of use, Karcıoğlu said: “HomeSasalı has become the address of choice for families with children and for those seeking an upscale lifestyle. Here, we wanted to provide not just a living space but a happy life experience that will last for years. At the end of 2025, we will start the second phase, building 17 more detached pool villas on an area of 12,000 square meters. As Normkar, we will also develop new projects in İzmir’s central districts of Bornova and Bayraklı, offering residential and commercial spaces for different needs. In particular, we want to launch a ‘rentable hotel room’ model by leveraging our years of experience in hospitality,” he said.
