What GYODER / Gayrimenkul Yatırımcıları Derneği does

GYODER (Gayrimenkul Yatırımcıları Derneği) is a Turkish non-profit industry association founded in 2001 and headquartered in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, that serves as the principal convener and think-tank for institutional real estate actors in Turkey. The organization represents more than 200 member companies across developers, REITs (GYOs), valuation firms, construction companies, and financial institutions, and operates with a lean staff of approximately 25 employees.

The association's product surface spans recurring publications and data products, large-format events, and education. Its flagship data offering is the REIDIN-GYODER Housing Price Index, a monthly housing benchmark produced with REIDIN since 2011. It also publishes GYODER Gösterge, a quarterly sectoral report with 43+ issues, runs GYODER Akademi as an education platform, and convenes signature events including the Gayrimenkul Zirvesi (now in its 20th edition), Gelişen Kentler Zirvesi, and the regional Anadolu Buluşmaları meetings.

Revenue mechanics rely on membership dues, event sponsorship, publication and index licensing, and Akademi tuition, supplemented by project-level partnerships such as the Yükselen Anadolu 100,000-unit post-earthquake housing initiative with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change and the TBMM restoration consortium. The association does not publish audited financial statements and is governed by a chairman-led board, with Neşecan Çekici currently serving as chair following the transition from Mehmet Kalyoncu.
