"Bosphorus City, the Second Bosphorus of Istanbul..."

With Bosphorus City, which is the Turkey's first themed residential project, Sinpaş GYO is moving the world renown Bosphorus of Istanbul to another district of Istanbul, Küçükçekmece-Halkalı, where the beauty of Bosphorus is re-interpreted with modern and traditional architecture together.

The 26,000 square meter project consists of the 720 meter long Bosphorus, the famous Bosphorus Bridge and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, many of the Bosphorus districts and squares such as Ortaköy Meydanı, Beylerbeyi, Kanlıca and Yeniköy, and luxury housing units boasting impressive view of Bosphorus. The project, where one third of land areas are reserved for landscaped areas consists of water-front villas, manors, water-front apartments and residence towers as well as many social and sports areas such as café-restaurants, dance halls, open air and indoor swimming pools, sports complexes, miniature golf field, massage rooms, and a health club.

The access relations- and location-wise value of Bosphorus City necessitated the handling of the area at a city scale. Therefore, in the detailed framework prepared by Sinpaş GYO, with the contributions of the local authorities, city planners of Wergemeinschaft Freiraum and Albert Speers & Partners Gmbh took all outfitting areas of the region as a whole and developed a city scale approach.

In Bosphorus City, which combines modern and traditional architecture while reflecting the architectural values of Bosphorus of Istanbul that is unique in the world, there are 63 residence types of different architectural styles. The residences of the project, which vary between 68 and 615 square meters, consist of water-front villas, Saraybahçe Houses, Yeditepe Towers and Yalı Apartments.

Ottoman'S, a charming water civilisation...

Ottoman'S traditional structure is being interpreted with today's modernism in Bursa, which had been the capital city of the Ottoman Empire for 600 years after its conquest in 1326 A.D. and has a history that reaches all the way to 3rd century B.C. With the Ottoman'S project, Sinpaş GYO once again makes this city the meeting point of civilizations. With this residential project, which is being constructed, Bursa is taking the first steps towards a new culture of living; the sale of second stage of the project has begun.

With its layout, modern infrastructure, landscaping crowned with artificial lagoons, superior quality residences, and open air and covered parking, Ottoman'S, which will be constructed on a 232,000 square meter area, will be the new center of attraction of Bursa.
