Aerocity Arnavutköy — Project Overview (draft summary)

The Aerocity Arnavutköy project is a modern mixed-use development (residential, commercial, amenities) in the Arnavutköy district of Istanbul, leveraging the area’s growth momentum due to the nearby Istanbul New Airport and transportation upgrades.

Location & Strategic Context
 Arnavutköy is on the European side of Istanbul and has gained significant importance as the home of the Istanbul New Airport.
 Thanks to its proximity to this major transport hub, real estate developments in Arnavutköy are seen as high potential for growth and investment.

Transportation & Connectivity
 The M11 metro line (Gayrettepe – Istanbul Airport – Arnavutköy) has improved connectivity.
 The segment between Arnavutköy and Istanbul Airport shortens travel time to about 8 minutes.
 In its first year of operation, the metro line has carried over 4.2 million passengers.

Project Features & Value Proposition (based on typical airport-area developments)
 Aerocity likely offers residential units, commercial spaces, and supporting amenities (shops, recreation, green areas) to meet the needs of residents, workers, and travelers.
 Because of its airport adjacency, Aerocity is positioned to benefit from airport city / aerotropolis dynamics — where airport infrastructure (offices, logistics, hotels, retail) drives demand in surrounding real estate.
 Additionally, demand from travellers, airport staff, logistics, and related businesses may contribute to stable occupancy and capital appreciation.

Challenges & Considerations
 Projects in developing zones often face infrastructure, regulatory, or environmental challenges (e.g. completion of road, utility, zoning works).
 Competition with other nearby developments might put pressure on pricing.
 Project timelines may depend on the pace of public infrastructure (roads, metro extensions, etc.).
