What Are the Key Facts About Kuzey Adalar Kartal?
What Is Kuzey Adalar Kartal?
Kuzey Adalar Kartal is a mixed-use development by ŞUA İnşaat and EPP, backed by Emlak Konut GYO — Turkey's state-linked real estate investment trust. The project rises across 12 blocks of 17 floors on a 90,000 m² coastal site in Kartal, directly facing the Marmara Sea and Princes' Islands. Alongside 2,281 apartments, the development includes 132 commercial units forming a retail street, 45,000 m² of landscaped grounds, a 25,000 m² single-level garden and 5,200 m² of social facilities.
The Marmaray Yunus station — connecting Gebze to Halkalı — is within walking distance of the project entrance, giving residents direct rail access to both sides of Istanbul without changing lines. This transport link is a key differentiator: few coastal residential projects in Istanbul offer both sea views and a Marmaray connection at the same address.
For foreign investors considering off-plan apartments in Istanbul, the Emlak Konut GYO guarantee provides an additional layer of institutional assurance — the same backing found in some of Turkey's most successful public housing projects. Browse our full portfolio of Istanbul investment properties.

Editor's Review
Kuzey Adalar stands apart in the Kartal market for the combination of Emlak Konut GYO institutional backing, a coastal site directly facing the Princes' Islands, and Marmaray walking-distance access — three attributes that rarely converge in a single off-plan project. The zero-interest, zero-deposit Yeni Yuvam payment model removes the main barrier to entry for buyers who cannot commit large sums upfront. At $232,000 for a 1+1 in a sea-view project backed by the Turkish government's real estate arm, the entry price is compelling relative to comparable coastal projects on both sides of the city. Buyers should note that the 40% construction completion (as of mid-2026) means delivery risk is reduced but not eliminated — our legal team reviews all contracts to ensure appropriate protections for international buyers.

Is Kartal a Good Place to Invest in Istanbul?
Kartal has become one of Istanbul's fastest-appreciating Anatolian-side districts, driven by coastal redevelopment, Marmaray connectivity and major new projects like this one. The district offers sea views, a working marina, international schools and hospitals — attributes that previously required buyers to pay Beykoz or Kadıköy premiums. For investors seeking property investment in Istanbul on the Anatolian side with strong rental demand and capital growth credentials, Kartal's coast is increasingly the first choice.
