KEMER MEDITERRA BREAKS GROUND ON
PRESTIGIOUS NEW LaVANTA PROJECT
158-home development overlooks Kalkan, Turkey

Kemer Mediterra, one of Turkey’s premier real estate developers, has commenced construction of its new 158-home project LaVanta, overlooking historic Kalkan on the country’s idyllic Turquoise Coast.

With prices ranging from £69,000 for a one-bedroom apartment to £350,000 (plus 18 per cent KDV ‘luxury’ tax) for a five-bedroom detached villa, LaVanta is aimed at buyers looking for genuine quality and exceptional capital growth potential. It is expected to be Turkey’s most prestigious residential coastal development.

LaVanta’s first phase, comprising 52 residences, is scheduled for completion by May 2008, and more than 50 per cent of first-phase properties have already been purchased off-plan.

The entire development will be completed in May 2010 and will include a boutique hotel, a choice of on-site restaurants, cafés, bars and shops, a superb communal swimming pool with children’s play area and outdoor sports facilities. Crèche and babysitting services, as well as a free shuttle service into Kalkan and to the popular nine-mile Patara Beach (in season) will be among the other benefits of property ownership at LaVanta.

“LaVanta’s location will allow homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds - a tranquil, self-contained, secure community with all the necessities of life, but just a short transfer from Kalkan’s traditional bars, restaurants and shops,” said Mark Connelly, Kemer Mediterra’s International Development Manager.

“LaVanta is modelled on our Kemer Country community, which is among Istanbul’s most sought-after addresses, and the same high standards will apply. The homes will reflect the unique character of Kalkan, with varying exterior profiles and roof heights, yet be completely contemporary inside.

“We are offering not just properties but a lifestyle - it’s the prestige and guaranteed quality that are creating such demand for LaVanta.”
