Urban Renewal Consulting
In urban renewal, our focus is the unit owners, and our method is transparent, well-planned process management.
With more than 15 years of industry experience, Ayören Grup advises property owners and their representatives on urban renewal. We begin by listening to what owners need, then consider the technical, financial, legal and environmental aspects together.
How we work
First, we identify the priorities of the property owners. We then turn their requirements into a clear, comparable set of documents so that prospective contractors and investors can prepare proposals on an equal footing.
Owners have access to engineering input for technical specifications, architectural support for reviewing and developing plans, and legal advice for preparing and examining contracts. Working alongside these specialists helps clarify questions of building safety, apartment layouts, materials and the parties' contractual responsibilities from the outset.
We prepare the requirements for architecture, allocation of units, technical standards, handover schedules and guarantees with the care expected of a formal tender document. The process can involve companies we already know as well as other contractors or investors the owners wish to consider.
Better decisions with independent valuations
Reliable figures are essential when assessing the value of the land, existing units and the proposed allocation in a new building. Where needed, we work with property valuation firms licensed by the Turkish Capital Markets Board (SPK). Independent valuations give owners useful evidence when comparing the financial aspects of proposals.
Transparent comparisons and decisions
We present offers against the same criteria so owners can see the differences. Meetings provide opportunities to question the companies directly, while transparent voting helps document the owners' preferences.
Support beyond contractor selection
Our experience in construction and architecture means our work does not stop when a contractor is chosen. We monitor the relationship between the proposed design, construction programme, materials, workmanship and the commitments made to owners. When differences arise, we aim to make them visible early.
Respecting trees and the surrounding environment
From the start of each project, we consider the site's environmental features and existing trees. We seek solutions that preserve greenery wherever possible and make these priorities part of the brief given to prospective contractors.
Addressing potential problems early
We plan meetings, communication, decisions, representation arrangements and contracts carefully. With legal support, we aim to identify procedural questions and potential disputes before they cause objections or delays.
Developing KentApp
We are developing KentApp to bring our practical urban renewal experience into a digital service. The app is still under development and is intended to make communication between property owners, contractors and real estate advisers more accessible and transparent.
KentApp is being developed to open up new digital possibilities for urban renewal.
Our aim at Ayören Grup is an urban renewal process built around owners' needs, supported by engineering, architectural, valuation and legal expertise, open to competitive offers and monitored transparently through construction.
Where does Ayören Grup operate?
Based in Kadıköy, we offer urban renewal consultancy, construction, architectural and real estate services across Istanbul's Asian side. We particularly consider building and plot enquiries in Bostancı, Erenköy, Feneryolu, Fenerbahçe, Caddebostan, Göztepe and neighbouring areas. Our projects also include work in Maltepe and Sancaktepe. Each opportunity depends on the property's planning status, technical characteristics and owners' expectations, not just its location.
Frequently asked questions about urban renewal consultancy
What should we bring to an initial meeting?
Useful information includes the building's full address, block and plot numbers if available, numbers of storeys and individual units, any existing official risk assessment, owners' priorities and contractor offers already received. If some details are missing, we can identify what is needed during the first discussion.
How should owners compare contractor offers?
The percentage of units allocated to owners or the quoted price does not tell the whole story. Architecture, technical specifications, materials, handover dates, guarantees, contractual responsibilities and payment terms all matter. We help prepare consistent tender documents so offers can be assessed fairly.
Does Ayören Grup only provide consultancy?
No. The group also offers construction services, architecture and project design and real estate consultancy. In urban renewal consultancy, our focus is on transparent coordination, comparison of offers and informed decisions for owners. Responsibilities are defined separately for each project.
Is an official building risk assessment the same as urban renewal consultancy?
No. An official risk assessment is a technical examination carried out by an authorised organisation. Urban renewal consultancy can cover preparation, owners' requirements, project alternatives, contractor offers and coordination with specialists.
