Why Yenişehir, why now

Türkiye's largest infrastructure project is repricing the land around it

The Istanbul Canal is a new waterway that takes pressure off the Bosphorus. With it, the land on both banks has been rezoned from agricultural to residential and commercial use under modern plans, and that is where the value forms for those who enter early.

Government rezoning

Land that was agricultural is now residential and commercial: readjustment plans were approved in Dursunköy in 2026, and Boyalık and Baklalı received a zoning amendment in February 2026.

Infrastructure on the ground, not on paper

The Sazlıdere Bridge on the Northern Marmara Motorway, Istanbul Airport and the M3 metro in Kayaşehir are all minutes from the project's neighbourhoods.

$8 billion a year

The canal's expected annual revenue according to Turkish government estimates, making it a hub for trade and building in western Istanbul for decades.

Investment paths

How can you profit from an investment in the Istanbul Canal project?

Our clients choose between three paths depending on capital and time horizon. We help you settle on the right one before you choose a plot.

Resale

Hold the land while its value rises as the project advances, then sell at a margin. The most common path among foreign investors.

Medium horizon · less management

Shares in jointly owned land

Own a share of a jointly owned plot that fits your capital; your return is paid by the other partners or by the developer building on it.

Lower capital to enter

Build and sell

Obtain the permits, build, then sell the finished units. Our own team can handle construction if you wish.

Higher return · longer horizon
