registered on behalf of the State Treasury. The purpose of this registration
to the treasury made in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law
is to ensure urgently the continuation of works and operations to be carried
out by administrations in the field of urban transformation. It is also aimed to
register the condominiums on behalf of the beneficiaries in the land registry
as corresponding to the rights of the beneficiaries before transfer to the
treasury in accordance with the new construction servitudes in the projects
that are completed and at the delivery stage according to article 6/A of the
Law No. 6306. As a result, the demolition and construction processes launched
immediately in the project leading to move up quickly to the evacuation stage
thanks to the implementation of the provisions of Article 6/A of Law No. 6306.
At this current point, construction activities are ongoing in the 1st Phase
project area identified within the high risk zone.

4.2. Kirazlıtepe Neighbourhood of Üsküdar District Urban Transformation
Project
The area where the Kirazlitepe Urban Transformation Project performed
was a settlement where most of the buildings were constructed before 2000
without complying with the Earthquake Regulations, did not receive adequate
engineering services, and had been built contrary to the legislation on large
parcels of land belonging to the State Treasury.
Covering three neighborhoods including Çengelköy, Çengel Ferah and
Çengel Küplüce, this area of approximately 18 hectares with 566 buildings was
first declared as an urban transformation and development area in 2016 by the
İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality in the scope of Article 73 of Law No. 5393.
Considering the situation of existing constructions, this area was further
declared as the high risk area by the Presidential Decision dated 10.02.2018
in order to prevent the aggrivement of the beneficiaries that reached an
agreement and evacuated their houses for making them ready for demolition
and to avoid the waste of public resources due to time loss, since it is estimated
that the time for reconciliation with the beneficiaries and preparing the project
for construction will take too much time bearing in mind the size of the area.
The project area was planned in phases taking into account the areas where
the beneficiaries reached an agreement with a 2/3 majority; besides, transfer
of the shares of the beneficiaries who failed to agree in the framework of
the provisions specified in article 15 of Law No. 6306 was started. Transfer
share process was completed for 1st and 2nd phases, on the other hand,
many lawsuits were filed by some of the beneficiaries in the area in various
Administrative Courts involving issues related to land arrangement, such as
share transfer, parcelling, amalgamation etc.
