Island Green: A Signal of What’s to Come
Island Green is not just another newcomer to the development landscape—it is a signal of what’s yet to come in Cyprus’ evolving real estate market. In under five years, Island Green has launched three distinct residential projects: Yalusa Homes (delivered), Green & Blue (90% complete), and Aquamarine Boğaz (70% complete), together comprising nearly 10,000 m² of construction. A fourth project in Tatlisu is currently in pre-launch, with an additional 9,000 m² of construction planned—positioned to be a transformative development for both the company and the region due to its scale and ambitious features.
What sets Island Green apart is not just rapid execution or project volume, but a deep-seated strategic independence. Each project has been planned, financed, and executed without external borrowing, ensuring both financial stability and operational autonomy in a volatile market.
Island Green's first project, Yalusa Homes, was launched at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and achieved full sales without formal advertising. This early success was underpinned by two key strengths: the backing and trust of Aykut Group, and a pioneering vision that fused regional character with architectural clarity. By entering the Karpaz region ahead of competitors, Island Green not only created a new investor hub in Yeni Erenkoy but also sparked local development, influenced municipal improvements, and reshaped investment flows in the area.
Future orientation is embedded into Island Green’s operational DNA. From day one, all homes were equipped with RF-based smart infrastructure, enabling seamless integration with future technologies. Very few developers—especially early-stage or small-to-mid scale ones—make such decisive investments in scalable, future-ready systems from the outset.
Internally, Island Green operates with a matrix structure, fostering cross-functional collaboration and agile decision-making. Employees receive monthly personal development funding and are currently undergoing hands-on training in artificial intelligence—empowering them to improve operations, reduce errors, and harness emerging tools for innovation.
Externally, Island Green’s reputation is built not on imitation but on trust. Led by a Cypriot founder with over 20 years of business experience, the company is firmly rooted in local insight, long-term vision, and data-informed strategy. Its approach blends regional analysis with community intelligence, allowing it to anticipate trends and design projects that resonate with place, purpose, and potential.
For Island Green, being a newcomer has never meant starting small. It has meant starting right—with sustainable systems, investable concepts, and a resilient company culture capable of enduring the tests of time. Every home is designed not just to last but to belong.
Great companies don’t simply arrive—they evolve. And Island Green is only just beginning.
