Chapman Taylor is pleased to report that construction work on the 340,000m² Büyükyalı residential project in Istanbul, Turkey, is progressing well.

A residential-led, mixed-use scheme in a spectacular location on the coastline of the Marmara Sea, Büyükyalı is designed as one of Turkey's most highly sought-after new quarters. The project, conceived as ‘four quarters, one community’, is an attractive and sustainable place to live for families, single people and young couples who wish to enjoy the benefits of Istanbul – including Kazlicesme Sahil Waterfront Park, a stunning new marina and access to the new Zeytinburnu metro line.

Ten of its 18 towers have now reached full height, and façade works have begun, giving a better idea of what the finished scheme will look like when it opens in late 2018/early 2019. Works on historical buildings have also begun, while excellent progress is being made on the luxury marina across Kennedy road.

Büyükyalı makes a clear division between public and private space - layering a broad range of uses and facilities, including 1,500 homes with prime sea views from all apartments. 15,000m² of public space will incorporate fashion, culture, art, music, kids clubs, a hotel, restaurants and a new marina. A new mosque and school are also being constructed. Hard and soft city spaces are juxtaposed in the masterplan, creating streets, squares, gardens and courtyards.

Chapman Taylor is the principle design architect on this huge residential development for Ozak-Yenigun-Ziylan Partnership.
