About Demir Life
A resort-scale park with two towers standing in it: 821 apartments in Büyükçekmece sharing a golf course, a pool deck and a shopping street of their own, twenty minutes from Istanbul Airport on the developer's own figures.
Demir Life is a residential project of 821 apartments in two towers in Büyükçekmece, on the European side of Istanbul, built by Demir İnşaat and Avrupakent GYO around a golf course, pools and sports courts of its own.
There is a size here for a first apartment in Istanbul and a size for a whole family. Layouts run 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1, from 67 m² brüt (gross) up to duplex plans of 527 m².
You get resort ground with the apartment. The golf course, the pool deck and the sports courts are inside the gates rather than a drive away.
The apartments are sold on a view of the sea and the lake, and the sunset comes in over the water. Istanbul Airport is twenty minutes away on the developer's own figures.
Why buyers choose it:
- Resort ground, not just a balcony: a golf course the developer calls the first in Büyükçekmece, a pool deck with a water slide, and tennis and basketball courts inside the gates
- Room to choose: 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 layouts, from 67 m² brüt (gross) up to duplex plans of 527 m²
- Sold on a sea and lake view: two towers of 30 and 25 floors, so the higher plans keep the outlook
- Your errands happen downstairs: a two-storey street of cafés, restaurants and shops along the front of the project
- Twenty minutes to Istanbul Airport and one minute to the E6, on the developer's own figures
Location & Connectivity
You can be at Istanbul Airport in twenty minutes and on the E6 in one, with the E5 five minutes out, on the developer's own figures. The airport, the coast and the road into the city all start close to the gate.
Büyükçekmece sits at the western end of Istanbul's European side, built around its own lake and a long stretch of the Marmara coast. It is greener and lower-built than the districts behind it, and our Büyükçekmece area page sets the district out in full.

Residences & Layouts
You are choosing a floor as much as a plan. The two towers rise 30 and 25 floors, and the higher plans are the ones that keep the outlook.
Sizes run from a 67 m² brüt (gross) 1+1 up to duplex plans of 527 m², so the same building holds a first apartment in Istanbul and a residence big enough for a large family. The largest plans in every layout are duplexes, set over two floors.
Brüt takes in the apartment's share of the building's common structure, so the floor you walk around is smaller than the figure on the sheet. Plans change from block to block and floor to floor as well.

Amenities & Lifestyle
The golf comes with the address. Demir Life is laid out to the developer's own five-star holiday-village concept, and its centrepiece is a golf course they call the first in Büyükçekmece.
The pool deck runs to two free-form pools, with a water slide at one end and shade over the loungers. An open-air amphitheatre and a fountain terrace sit alongside it.
You do not have to leave the gates for bread or coffee. A two-storey street of cafés, restaurants and shopfronts runs along the front of the project, with tables out on the pavement.
Tennis and basketball courts sit in the same grounds, so the sport is a walk from the lift rather than a drive across town.

Investment & Turkish Citizenship
What you buy here is the ground as much as the apartment. All 821 apartments share the golf course, the pool deck and the shopping street, and grounds on that scale are not something a single block can add later.
Before any transfer we check the Tapu (title deed) at the Land Registry, so you know exactly what you are signing for.
Turkish citizenship by investment is settled apartment by apartment, never project by project. It turns on the official valuation of the one you buy and on the threshold in force on the day. We put that position in writing against a named apartment before anything is signed.
Prices and sizes here move with the floor, the aspect and the plan. Tell us what you are looking for and we will come back today with what is available and the figure in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Demir Life?
Demir Life is in Büyükçekmece, at the western end of Istanbul's European side, in Türkiye. The district is built around its own lake and a long stretch of the Marmara coast, and the project is sold on a view of both the sea and the lake. Istanbul Airport is twenty minutes away and the E6 motorway one minute, on the developer's own figures.
What layouts and sizes does Demir Life offer?
Demir Life has 821 apartments in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, in 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 and 4+1 layouts, which in Turkish notation means one to four bedrooms plus a separate living room. Avrupakent GYO prints a brüt (gross) area against each type: 67 to 89 m² for the 1+1, 101 to 283 m² for the 2+1, 161 to 271 m² for the 3+1 and 188 to 326 m² for the 4+1, with the largest duplex plans reaching 527 m². Brüt takes in the apartment's share of the building's common structure, so the area you walk around is smaller, and the plans vary by block and by floor.
What facilities are inside Demir Life?
Demir Life in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul is laid out to a five-star holiday-village concept, and its grounds hold a golf course the developer calls the first in the district, two outdoor pools with a water slide, tennis and basketball courts, an open-air amphitheatre and a fountain terrace. A two-storey street of cafés, restaurants and shops runs along the front of the project, so the daily errands happen without leaving the gates.
How much does an apartment at Demir Life cost?
Prices at Demir Life in Büyükçekmece are set apartment by apartment: the floor, the layout, the aspect and the outlook all move the figure, and a 67 m² brüt (gross) 1+1 is a different proposition from a 527 m² duplex near the top of a tower. Our team quotes a named apartment in writing, with the floor area and the terms alongside it.
Does an apartment at Demir Life qualify for Turkish citizenship?
Turkish citizenship by investment is settled on the apartment you buy at Demir Life rather than on the project as a whole: it turns on the official valuation of that apartment and on the threshold in force on the day of purchase. We check the Tapu at the Land Registry before any transfer and confirm the citizenship position in writing against a named apartment in Büyükçekmece.
Who is building Demir Life?
Demir Life is built by Demir İnşaat with Avrupakent GYO, in the Büyükçekmece district on the European side of Istanbul. It runs to 821 apartments in two towers of 30 and 25 floors, standing in grounds with a golf course, a pool deck and a shopping street of their own.
