Kartal, New Business and Investment Center of İstanbul

The most important factor that determines the city centers according to international standards is office areas or central business areas (CBAs). CBAs are the locations where professional office buildings are concentrated and include the most intense and demanded office areas in the pedestrian-vehicle traffic and service sector.

This axis, defined as the CBA of İstanbul, includes Levent, Etiler, Maslak, Zincirlikuyu-Esentepe-Gayrettepe and Beşiktaş-Balmumcu regions. As a result of the city’s growth and demand increased, other regions were added to these regions and divided into Asia and Europe.

The financial center and its surroundings on the Anatolian side are known as the central business area. In addition, Kartal, one of the largest districts of the Anatolian side of İstanbul, is rapidly progressing to become the most important central business area and culture and art center of İstanbul.

Big companies prefer locations that meet their needs and make transportation easier. As Kartal is close to both the rail system, sea transportation and the TEM and D100 (E5) highway connection, it offers many alternatives to İstanbul’s biggest problem, transportation. Kadıköy-Pendik metro line also increases the value of the region.

Major projects in the region also change the socio-economic profile of Kartal. Thanks to high-level projects, well-educated and high-income people started to choose Kartal.

With its long coastline, islands and sea views, Aydos forest, ease of transportation and proximity to financial centers, Kartal has become an important center. It is the best location that connects İstanbul to Anatolia with its proximity to Osmangazi Bridge.

The financial center project, which is under construction in Ataşehir, has increased real estate prices in the region. For this reason, investors are turning to more accessible and attractive regions in terms of pricing. The most preferred of these regions seems to be Kartal.
