Agaoglu opens office in Dubai
AGAOGLU, a leading real estate and construction company in Turkey, has opened an office in Dubai, which will serve as its first international centre to boost regional interest in properties across Turkey.
Strategically located on Dubai’s premier business address, Sheikh Zayed Road, the local representative office will cater to the rising interest of UAE and GCC investors and residents in acquiring properties in Turkey. Its slogan “Invest in Turkey” coincides with the new reciprocity law that allows foreigners to buy property in the country in the absence of a mutual right for a Turk in the countries concerned.
