Taban Construction and Petroleum Products Industry and Trade Limited Company is the corporate name of Ali Taban's sole proprietorship titled Güneri Mass Housing and Office Construction and Organization.

- How did we start, how did we accomplish?

Ali Taban made its debut in the construction and building sector by undertaking the Organization of and assuming the Chairman role for Low-Income Brackets of Istanbul, Güneri, Members of Emlak Kredi Bank that acquired the loan procurement right granted to mass housing builders before 1982.

With the revolutionary "Mass Housing" concept launched after the inauguration of the Mass Housing Administration and Mass Housing Fund set up by the Government headed by deceased Turgut Özal in 1984, the industry gained a new dimension. During this process, Ali Taban carried on building the TEK MEMBERS (Gün Housing Complex), TABAN MASS HOUSING, YENİ DÜNYA HOUSING COMPLEX and SILA HOUSING COMPLEX projects.

The list of projects completed by Ali Taban - Güneri Mass Housing and Office Construction and Organization Company that also undertook the contractor's role for all the foregoing constructions can be seen in the "completed projects" page. One should strictly keep in his mind that, more than ONE MILLION families became house owners upon the construction of mass housings between 1985 and1990 thanks to the partial loan support provided by the Mass Housing Fund.

However, upon the Mass Housing Administration ceased to grant loans for mass housings whereby individual loans came to the foreground and number of mass housing builders victimizing and exploiting its subscribers increased over the last 8-10 years; the advantage of becoming a house owner through mass housings was badly harmed. Yet with the inauguration of the Mortgage System and commencement of the practice of procuring loans during the construction phase, the mass housing builders will definitely be the first alternative recurring to mind for middle and low-income brackets desiring to possess their own houses.

- We acted systemically and underwent restructuring

While the devastation political and economical crisis of 2001 was underway, we completed the last block of the Yeni Dünya Housing Complex comprised of 10 blocks and 240 flats and set out to the construction of a Business Center in the Ümraniye Industrial Complex and then a 22.000-sqm oil Plant in Bolu-Kaynaşlı. At that time, accompanied with the revival of the political and economical stability naturally culminating in decline in inflation, the interest and exchange rates dropped as well and cash funds were predominantly routed to real estate investments. Also the need to housing climaxed over the last 8-10 years. These factors have all boosted the demand to real estate. And with the inauguration of long-term housing loans, our people acting along the motto of "Property in Earth, Faith in Afterlife" were greatly motived.

- A new approach to make low-income brackets house owners!

Greatly struggling for privatization, Mr. Prime Minister R. Tayyip Erdoğan Erdoğan and his government transformed for some reason the Mass Housing Administration (TOKI) whose function should naturally be "providing partial loans for Mass Housing Societies and Mass Housing Builders, and undertaking building organizations" into directly a State Economic Housing Enterprise while disputably disposing of other State Economic Enterprises on other side.

Again, allocating the lands in hand to Mass Housing Societies at very low rates and helping low-income brackets to be house owners in this way so far, the Municipalities have directly started to produce new dwellings (apart from their primary mission). However, the total number of dwellings produced by TOKI and Municipalities can only meet 5% of the overall deficit. Yet, the propaganda staged in both media and press has brought in a slogan that "the government and municipalities would make everyone house owners".

This situation has thrown cold waters on PRIVATE ENTERPRISES and DWELLING BUILDERS and also created an expectation on citizens that TOKİ and KİPTAŞ would make them house owners. Therefore, thousands of citizens desiring to be house owners are prevented from seeking alternative resorts.

However, if both Municipalities and TOKI allocated the lands and financial opportunities in their hand to mass housing builders, producing more than 1-1,5 million of flats in a 5-year period would be a reality. In this way, middle income brackets could be house owners, the construction sector would undergo a resurgence, the flat deficit could be satisfied in a short period of time and low income brackets would immediately be freed from paying rentals. Furthermore, the construction quality of Mass Housings would be secured as well.
