Short story of ProgeM Istanbul

We got together on the occasion of a real-estate project planned in Istanbul by a Germany-based company, and took part at the technical and administrative management levels of the project from the beginning till the end thereof. In consideration of our observations during the term of this project, and of the previous experiences we had gained, we came to understand that, despite the numerous opportunities being offered to the foreign investors, there were tedious processes being undergone, and to be undergone as well, in terms of the disputes arising from the implementation of the legal regulations, cultural differences, etc. We were aware of such negativities. We were also aware of the fact that, we possessed the information and skills we might provide to the real persons and legal entities we were collaborating with in the form of the support they needed. Thanks to this belief and self-confidence we possessed, we developed the ProgeM İstanbul concept, and upon turning this concept into reality in July 2009, we incorporated our company. We abbreviated the term, Proje Geliştirme (project development), and placed M of the term, Mimarlık (architecture), and named it ProgeM İstanbul.

Why to invest in Turkey?

Alongside the ever-increasing number of countries adopting the market economy worldwide, amounts of the international foreign capital investments seem to increase significantly as a consequence. Turkey has always been within the center of attention of the foreign capital investments, and thanks to having commenced its integration with the market economy long years ago, it has been ranked as an experienced country in this respect. Today, Turkish economy is being ranked among the developing markets, and Turkey is being ranked among the newly-developed countries of the world. Private sector has recently undergone a process of rapid development. Thanks to its economic and demographic power, Turkey has the ability to grow significantly in the long-term. Such factors, including its strategic location, lower tax rates and incentive opportunities, younger population, and its extensive domestic market as well, are the issues which may be taken into consideration in the choice of investment.
