Reconstruction efforts following the February 2023 earthquakes in Turkey are progressing across several sectors, including real estate, religious infrastructure, and student housing.

In the real estate sector, Adıyaman has seen a significant shift in market dynamics. The completion of hundreds of new commercial units, including approximately 820 units led by Emlak Konut, has increased supply and caused office rental prices in central locations to drop by up to 40%. In Hatay’s Antakya district, the Emek neighborhood is transitioning back into a functioning community as residents return to newly constructed, earthquake-resistant housing units overseen by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change.

Further developments in Hatay include the completion of the 137th mosque in the province, with the Marangozlar Mosque recently opening in the Kırıkhan district. This reconstruction, coordinated with the Presidency of Religious Affairs, has also facilitated the opening of 51 Quran courses and 13 youth centers. 

In Kahramanmaraş, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has expanded student dormitory capacity to 10,538, which exceeds pre-earthquake levels. New facilities at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University and in Elbistan have helped ensure all students in the city center are placed in dormitories, with further construction planned for several other districts.
