Marina Residences is a completed development in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul, spanning a 40,000 sqm plot with 70% greenery across 5 residential buildings, offering 320 apartments in 2+1 to 5+2 layouts alongside 40 commercial units, separate pools for women and men, a Turkish bath and citizenship-eligible pricing.
Marina Residences occupies a prestigious position in Beylikdüzü, one of Istanbul’s most important and fast-developing coastal districts, known for its rich history and attractive Marmara Sea coastline. The development is built across a 40,000 square metre plot of which 70% is greenery, spread over 5 residential buildings totalling 320 apartments in a range of sizes and layouts, together with 40 commercial units for residents’ everyday convenience. The project’s original completion date was set for June 2024; buyers should confirm current handover and occupancy status directly with UInvest.
Marina Residences offers a wide spread of layouts to suit different household sizes: 2+1, 3+1, 4+1, 4+2 and 5+2 apartments, giving the development one of the broader unit ranges among Istanbul’s coastal projects — from compact two-bedroom homes through to expansive five-bedroom family residences.
Marina Residences benefits from an ideal location with a full range of necessary services and social amenities close by, from education and healthcare to shopping centres. The development is close to the E5 highway, West Istanbul Marina, Istanbul Airport, the metrobus line, Medicana Hospital and Marmara Park shopping centre, with easily accessible public transportation providing comfortable, convenient commuting across the wider city.
| Destination | Distance / Time |
|---|---|
| West Istanbul Marina | 5 minutes on foot |
| IDO Sea Bus Stop | 7 minutes |
| E5 Highway | 10 minutes by car |
| Metro Line | 15 minutes on foot |
Marina Residences is designed as a comprehensive, self-contained residential community. Wellness facilities include separate swimming pools for women and men, a Turkish bath, a sauna, massage rooms and a fully equipped fitness club. Active residents can make use of basketball and volleyball courts, while children benefit from dedicated playgrounds across the development’s extensive green landscaping. Water features and a meeting room add further amenity depth, and the development includes a smart home system, a full security system, and both open and closed parking areas.
Marina Residences was offered with the possibility of instalment payment over 18 months, giving buyers flexibility to spread cost rather than settling the full price upfront. Citizenship packages are available, reflecting pricing structured to help buyers meet Turkey’s real estate investment threshold for citizenship eligibility. Buyers should confirm current payment terms and citizenship-package pricing directly with UInvest.
Foreign nationals can purchase freehold property in Turkey with full title rights, and a qualifying real estate investment of at least $400,000 can make the buyer and their immediate family eligible to apply for Turkish citizenship under the country’s citizenship-by-investment programme, introduced in 2017. Marina Residences’ citizenship packages are structured specifically around this threshold; buyers pursuing this route should confirm current requirements and documentation with UInvest.
After choosing a unit and agreeing terms, buyers sign a sales contract and follow the agreed instalment schedule. Foreign buyers also need a military clearance check (askeri izin) confirming the property does not fall within a restricted zone, before title transfer is finalised at the Turkish Land Registry and Cadastre Directorate. Buyers pursuing a citizenship application should factor that process into their post-purchase timeline.
Before committing to a unit at Marina Residences, buyers should confirm current availability and pricing by apartment type and building, the exact instalment schedule if still available, whether the purchase clears the $400,000 citizenship-by-investment threshold, and the development’s current construction and handover status given its original June 2024 completion date. Working through this checklist with UInvest ahead of signing helps buyers avoid surprises during the transfer process.
All residential properties in Turkey are legally required to carry DASK, the state-backed compulsory earthquake insurance scheme, before a title deed transfer can be completed. Buyers at Marina Residences should factor the annual DASK premium into their ongoing ownership costs alongside any building service charges (aidat) levied for maintaining the development’s extensive amenity offering.
Marina Residences’ instalment plan offers a straightforward financing route without third-party mortgage approval, though buyers converting from foreign currency should be aware that the Turkish Lira has historically been more volatile against the US Dollar and Euro than Gulf currencies pegged to the Dollar. Demographic and construction-sector statistics published by TÜİK, Turkey’s official statistics institute, offer a useful independent reference point for buyers assessing long-term demand fundamentals in Beylikdüzü.
With an extensive amenity stack across 5 buildings including two separate pools, a Turkish bath, sauna and fitness club, Marina Residences’ aidat service charge funds the upkeep of shared infrastructure. Buyers should request the current aidat rate directly from UInvest before finalising a purchase, since it varies by building and unit size.
Beylikdüzü’s coastal position, proximity to Istanbul Airport and its status as one of the city’s fastest-developing districts support steady rental demand for well-amenitised developments like Marina Residences. Buyers should confirm current achievable rents for their specific apartment type directly with UInvest, and factor in aidat service charges and annual DASK premiums when calculating net yield.
With 320 units across 5 buildings and a comprehensive amenity offering, Marina Residences benefits from a broad pool of comparable transactions relative to smaller, standalone projects in the same district. Buyers should confirm current comparable resale transactions directly with UInvest when underwriting a purchase.
Marina Residences suits buyers who want a comprehensive, amenity-rich home in a coastal Istanbul district — families drawn to the wide range of unit sizes and children’s playgrounds, investors targeting Turkish citizenship eligibility, and buyers who value proximity to the marina, sea bus and Istanbul Airport. The unusual combination of separate pools for women and men also makes the development a strong fit for buyers seeking culturally tailored wellness amenities.
With apartment layouts ranging up to 5+2, dedicated children’s playgrounds, basketball and volleyball courts, and extensive green landscaping across 70% of the plot, Marina Residences is particularly well suited to larger families relocating to Beylikdüzü. Proximity to Medicana Hospital and Marmara Park shopping centre adds further everyday convenience.
Buyers evaluating Marina Residences against other Istanbul projects available through UInvest should also consider Evler Residences on the Asian side and Hayat Vision in Pendik, for a broader picture of pricing and positioning across the city.

With the project’s original completion date now behind it, buyers in 2026 should request an up-to-date construction and occupancy status from UInvest before committing. For buyers targeting Turkish citizenship eligibility or a comprehensive, family-sized home near Istanbul’s western coastline, Marina Residences’ broad unit range and extensive amenities remain a strong proposition once current status is confirmed.
Beylikdüzü has transformed into one of Istanbul’s most important and fast-developing western districts, combining a historic coastal identity with modern infrastructure including the West Istanbul Marina, Marmara Park shopping centre and strong metrobus and E5 highway connectivity. Its blend of established community infrastructure and ongoing development gives it a different character from both Istanbul’s dense historic core and its newer, less-established outer districts.
Marina Residences tends to attract two main buyer groups: citizenship-focused investors drawn to its qualifying price point and citizenship packages, and larger families seeking a comprehensive, amenity-rich home with generous unit sizes up to 5+2. Both groups benefit from the same underlying advantage — a coastal Istanbul location with strong transport connectivity to the airport, marina and city centre.
Turkey’s citizenship-by-investment programme, introduced in 2017, allows foreign nationals who purchase real estate worth at least $400,000 to apply for citizenship for themselves and their immediate family, provided the property is held for a minimum retention period set by the government. Applicants typically need a valuation report confirming the property meets the threshold, proof of payment through the Turkish banking system, and a clean criminal record. Marina Residences’ dedicated citizenship packages are structured specifically to help buyers clear this threshold, and UInvest can walk buyers through the current documentation requirements and timeline.
The spread from 2+1 apartments through to 5+2 residences means Marina Residences can suit very different buyer profiles within the same development. Smaller 2+1 and 3+1 units tend to appeal to investors targeting rental yield or smaller households, while the larger 4+1, 4+2 and 5+2 layouts suit bigger families wanting more separation between living and sleeping areas. Buyers should discuss current pricing and floor-plan availability by unit type directly with UInvest, since not every building offers every layout.
Beyond the agreed purchase price, buyers in Turkey should budget for the title deed transfer fee, typically shared between buyer and seller, along with the mandatory DASK earthquake insurance premium and any applicable notary or translation costs for foreign buyers completing paperwork through a power of attorney. UInvest can provide buyers with a full breakdown of these associated costs of buying property in Turkey ahead of signing.
Because Marina Residences was designed and delivered as a complete 5-building master plan with a full amenity stack already in place, buyers avoid the piecemeal risk associated with phased developments where amenities are promised for a later construction stage. Buyers should still confirm which specific amenities are operational at the time of purchase, since large multi-building developments can sometimes deliver residential blocks ahead of shared facilities.
The area surrounding West Istanbul Marina has developed into one of Beylikdüzü’s most desirable pockets, combining waterfront leisure with the district’s broader retail and healthcare infrastructure, including Marmara Park shopping centre and Medicana Hospital. For buyers who want coastal living without Istanbul’s more central, tourist-heavy price premiums, this part of Beylikdüzü offers a genuinely different value proposition.
Beylikdüzü’s combination of coastal amenities, strong transport links to Istanbul Airport, and ongoing district development has historically supported solid rental demand from both local tenants and relocating families. Buyers should request current comparable rental figures for Marina Residences’ specific unit types directly from UInvest before underwriting a purchase on a yield basis.

Marina Residences’ separate swimming pools for women and men, alongside its Turkish bath and sauna facilities, reflect a deliberate design choice to serve a broad range of cultural preferences within a single development. This kind of amenity segmentation is not universal across Istanbul’s new-build market, and buyers who specifically value this provision should confirm which facilities remain in operation as part of their pre-purchase due diligence.
Buyers who are seriously considering a purchase at Marina Residences should have proof of funds or financing pre-approval in place ahead of a reservation, along with identification documents required for the freehold registration process. Given the development’s original completion target has passed, buyers should also request the latest developer-confirmed occupancy status across all 5 buildings before finalising any reservation.
Buyers converting from Gulf currencies pegged to the US Dollar, such as the Saudi Riyal, Qatari Riyal or Omani Rial, should note that the Turkish Lira floats independently and has historically shown greater volatility. This makes the timing of currency conversion for instalment payments a meaningful consideration for buyers structuring a purchase at Marina Residences over the development’s 18-month payment period, and UInvest can advise on practical approaches to managing this exposure.
With an original completion target of June 2024, Marina Residences should now have an operating track record of resale and rental activity that newer, still-under-construction Beylikdüzü projects cannot yet demonstrate. Buyers underwriting a purchase on investment grounds should request this transaction history directly from UInvest, since verified performance data offers a stronger basis for yield projections than marketing estimates alone.
Beylikdüzü’s continued designation as one of Istanbul’s most important developing districts, combined with its established marina, shopping and healthcare infrastructure, supports a positive long-term outlook for well-located, amenity-rich developments like Marina Residences. As Istanbul’s western districts continue to attract both local and international buyers, coastal developments with direct marina access and strong transport links are well placed to benefit from sustained demand.
