Nadir leads the Real Estate service team at dqdx and brings a strong track-record in deal-making in Turkish property. With an initial background in property valuation ("ekspertiz" in Turkish), Nadir was appointed Managaing Director of Emlak Konut Pazarlama, the marketing divison of Turkey’s then largest specialist provider of real estate finance, Emlak Bank. His principal remit was to market the whole of Emlak’s property portfolio, the single largest in the country at the time.

Following corporate re-organisation, Emlak Konut was spun off to form the Emlak GYO which remains the single largest real estate investment vehicle in Turkey with a multi-billion dollar portfolio under management. Nadir was appointed Managing Director of Emlak GYO in 2002 and developed close links with TOKI, the Turkish government’s housing development agency and the largest owner of greenfield sites in Turkey. His extensive experience and network of contacts enable him to source and deliver on opportunities usually unavailable on the open market.

Nadir and his team are based in Istanbul.

The Engineering Consulting Team (ECT) at dq|dx works closely with our Real Estate Team to provide a wide range of consulting services focused on design, construction and project management. It has relationships with the country’s leading architects, civil engineers and property developers and has been engaged in some of Istanbul’s most prestigious construction projects such as the Turkish Formula One race track and IKEA’s first store there.

The ECT also audits projects from a building control perspective ("yapi denetim" in Turkish) - this is subject to stringent thresholds in Turkey and effective compliance is key to the success of all new-build projects. The ECT’s expertise in managing approvals processing (eg zoning, licensing, permissions) where such issues have previously proved problematic (or even terminal) is a particular strength.
