On the Istanbul stock market, notable events unfolded regarding the decline of Kizilbuk, a Turkish real estate developer. On Monday, amid reports of a potential demolition of its luxury real estate project in the resort town of Marmaris, Kizilbuk's shares plummeted by 8.2%. This marked the most significant drop since January 10, as discussions about legal issues surrounding the project escalated.
The "Kizilbuk" project represents a large-scale development that includes:
Timeshare properties;
A hotel with 206 rooms;
A thermal spa center.
However, this project has encountered serious legal troubles. According to reports, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively seeking the demolition of this project, adding uncertainty and risk for both the developer and investors.
A critical aspect of the situation is the municipality, which is currently in opposition and is responsible for executing demolition orders. However, municipal authorities have emphasized that before taking any action, a court decision is needed. This could indicate that the process may be prolonged, triggering further market volatility.
In response to the legal disputes, Kizilbuk's shares have seen a significant decline. By 12:40 PM local time, shares fell to 5.29 lira, representing a 5.5% decrease. Meanwhile, shares of the parent company Sinpas REIT also experienced a drop of 5.8%.
