Marmara Seafront Luxury
at Istanbul's Historic Crossroads
Zeytinburnu bridges the old city and the sea — where Istanbul's historic peninsula meets the Marmara coast, anchored by Büyükyalı, the city's most celebrated luxury seafront villa development, and connected by Marmaray, Tram T1 and Metro M1A to the entire city in minutes.

Büyükyalı — Istanbul's Landmark Marmara Villa Project
Büyükyalı Istanbul (from $964,000) is one of the city's most prestigious seafront developments — a sprawling Marmara-front estate with private marina, luxury villas and sea-view residences that has redefined what waterfront living means on the European shore.
Historic Crossroads & Dual Market
Zeytinburnu sits where Istanbul's Byzantine-era peninsula meets the modern city — Topkapı borders on one side, Bakırköy on the other. This unique position supports both an upscale Marmara waterfront market and a resilient mid-market urban residential segment with strong tenant demand.
Marmaray, Tram T1 & Metro M1A
Three transit lines converge in Zeytinburnu — Marmaray to both airports and the Asian side, Tram T1 to Sultanahmet and Kabataş, Metro M1A to Aksaray and Atatürk — giving residents and tenants unmatched access across Istanbul without a single transfer.
