The 56,841.92 m² project site within the borders of Istanbul’s Esenler District, Havaalanı Quarter is designated as Urban Transformation Area within the scope of Law No. 6306 on Transformation of Areas under Disaster Risks. The project is prepared in accordance with the criteria set forth in the contract signed between the Municipality and the Beneficiaries and accordingly divided into 2 chapters as Beneficiaries and Finance. A total of 2373 houses and 55 commercial units are planned within the scope of the project. 1403 houses and 32 commercial units are allocated for the beneficiaries, while 970 houses and 23 commercial units are offered for sale.

A commercial axis that physically separates the Beneficiary from the Finance part is created within the scope of the project. The aim with this axis is to maintain such a lifestyle as in a neighborhood within the commercial unit - planned independently from the houses - at road facades and road elevations of the blocks facing the axis. Commercial units together with houses within the project are designed in a way to meet the daily requirements of the people living around. The roads and streets are clearly defined since the blocks are located around the square; further, elevations are used to form inner courts to be bordered by the blocks. The courts are designed to include landscape, playgrounds, walkways, as well as sitting and resting areas. There are parking garages at the bottom elevations of the courts. Waste recycling systems are planned to be incorporated in the blocks with the purpose of recycling domestic wastes in the houses and thus providing economic savings.
