La Casalia: A New Standard for Regional Development in Northern Cyprus
La Casalia is more than a residential project—it represents a transformative regional initiative redefining the intersection of luxury living, sustainability, and cultural integration in Northern Cyprus. Situated on a 300,000-square-meter seafront site in the Tatlısu Küçükerenköy area, the development combines world-class residential design with long-term environmental and socio-economic impact.
Comprising 454 spacious residences and featuring over 120,000 square meters of green space, La Casalia is designed with low-rise architecture that respects and preserves the natural landscape. It raises the bar for sustainable living, wellness, and community-focused design.
What distinguishes La Casalia is its integrated approach to regional development. At its heart is a commitment to enhancing the Tatlısu area—not only through architectural excellence but by actively supporting local culture and economy. A 2,500-seat amphitheater, open to the public, will host cultural and artistic events, while partnerships with local producers ensure that regional products such as lavender oil and carob syrup reach international visitors, supporting local agriculture and craftsmanship.
Mobility within and around the site is addressed innovatively through an app-based scooter and bike-sharing system (Take), which reduces car dependency and establishes a local green transport network. The integration of eco-tourism experiences—such as horseback riding, hiking, and birdwatching—further supports sustainable tourism and contributes to the region’s economic diversification.
La Casalia is also a benchmark in environmental responsibility. Its infrastructure includes a wastewater treatment facility, the reuse of excavation stone in construction, and the development of more than 7.5 kilometers of green mobility trails. These measures reflect a deep commitment to sustainable development that goes beyond compliance to create genuine ecological value.
With resort-level amenities, smart infrastructure, and hotel-grade services, La Casalia positions itself not just as a luxury housing destination, but as a flagship model for holistic regional development.
More than just a private investment, La Casalia delivers shared public value—strengthening regional identity, enhancing local employment, improving infrastructure, and laying the foundation for a resilient, inclusive, and globally connected community.
