LEED-Certified Flats — Altintas, Antalya

Altintas isn't a neighbourhood you'd find on a postcard. It's the part of Antalya that's quietly transformed into something estate agents whisper about — because they're buying here themselves. Aksu, sitting on a major arterial road, with the airport at its back and shopping centres a quarter-hour away. This is a city that works, invests and builds. And it does it with real ambition.

The Viva Defne project — and I'll tell you straight away what sets it apart from dozens of similar developments in the area: LEED certification. This isn't a marketing badge. LEED means specific standards — air quality, energy consumption, materials. Two blocks, A and B, set across 7,716 m² of land, designed with something more in mind than just square footage.

On every floor: a pergola and garden of 25 m². Not a single shared rooftop terrace — each floor has its own green space. It changes the way you actually live. Class A VRF air conditioning, built-in appliances, steel entrance door, aluminium shutters, premium bathroom ceramics, suspended ceilings and a video intercom — this is a finish that asks nothing more of you once you pick up the keys.

Picture a morning: coffee on your private pergola garden, fifteen minutes to Lara Beach, the airport close enough that you catch the distant hum of departing planes — but not so close it bothers you. Evenings at TerraCity or Plaza Lara. Weekends at ancient Perge, 12 km away, or Köprülü Canyon for a longer escape. Altintas gives you the freedom of movement you look for in a well-connected city.

This is a place for someone who sees Antalya not just as a holiday, but as a decision. LEED certification, green architecture and a prime location on the main artery of an investment district — all in one project.
