What you should know about the project

Büyükyalı İstanbul is a "neighbourhood-scale" development by the Özak GYO–Ziylan–Yenigün partnership on the Kazlıçeşme waterfront: roughly 1,500 residences, offices and commercial units, with layouts from 1+1 to 5+1 including lofts and penthouses. Restored historic factory buildings host cultural and dining destinations, and an open-air retail promenade runs through the site — making it the undisputed top-segment address of Zeytinburnu.

The location sits at the meeting point of two worlds: the Kazlıçeşme Marmaray station and the coastal road are right beside the project, the historic peninsula is minutes away, and the business districts are a direct rail ride. That shapes the tenant demand: Büyükyalı draws corporate executives, expats and relocating families — well-referenced tenants, but demanding ones who view several homes before choosing.

The rule of this segment is simple: an overpriced apartment goes stale on the portals, a correctly priced one lets within days. From the apartments we actively let in the same district — see our Akzirve Topkapı 29 portfolio — we watch this corridor's demand day by day, and we price a Büyükyalı unit from tenancy levels that actually signed, not from asking prices on listing portals.

Do you own an apartment at Büyükyalı İstanbul?

In top-segment letting, two things cost owners money: empty months and the wrong tenant. We handle the free valuation, professional photography, boosted listings on our sahibinden.com store and tenant pre-screening; our fee only arises when a tenancy actually completes. If you live abroad, the whole process — including the listing authorisation via e-Devlet — runs remotely.
