Urban Renewal Law

Our firm provides extensive legal support under Law No. 6306 on the Transformation of Areas at Risk of Disaster, which entered into force in 2012 and is commonly known as the Urban Renewal Law. We have advised on numerous projects, principally in Istanbul and also in Izmir, Ankara, Kayseri and Kocaeli.

Our Urban Renewal Law advisory services include:

Alongside legal counsel to dozens of large and medium-sized construction companies, residential estate managements and individual unit owners, we manage the entire process of demolishing and rebuilding unsafe buildings within urban renewal projects. This includes structuring the legal relationship between contractors and landowners; preparing construction agreements in exchange for land shares and construction agreements for a monetary fee; and ensuring that simple-majority decision-making procedures comply with the applicable legislation.

We also provide professional representation and advice in proceedings concerning the correction of land shares, challenges to decisions, administrative litigation, equalisation claims, compensation claims and the termination of construction agreements in exchange for land shares or for a monetary fee.
