G Wanda Vista

Ready to Move in Bağcılar

G Wanda Vista is a landmark hotel and residential development in Istanbul's Bagcilar district, on the Basin Ekspres business corridor, about 35 km by road from Istanbul Airport. Jointly created by Turkish developer Mar Yapi and China's Wanda Hotels and Resorts, and designed by the studio of Philippe Starck, it is a hotel and serviced-residence complex housing 320 serviced apartments alongside 127 hotel rooms. The completed project pairs branded five-star hospitality with high-specification residences, appealing to buyers seeking prestige, rental potential and a central European-side location. Its striking architecture and hotel-serviced lifestyle make it one of Bagcilar's most distinctive addresses. Because the development is ready, buyers can view finished homes and move in or begin earning rental income without waiting for construction, a rare advantage among high-end Istanbul projects of this scale and ambition.

Location & Connectivity

G Wanda Vista stands in Bagcilar on Istanbul's European side, close to the Basin Ekspres corridor that ties the district into the E5 and TEM highways and the O-7 Northern Marmara motorway. That road network puts Istanbul Airport about 35 km away by road, while Bagcilar's metro links connect the area into the wider rapid-transit system around Mahmutbey. The Basin Ekspres belt has become a magnet for corporate headquarters, hotels and shopping centers, giving the surroundings a business-district feel that suits a hotel-branded residence. Levent, Maslak and the Ikitelli industrial zones are all reachable via the highways, and everyday services such as hospitals, schools and malls are plentiful across Bagcilar. The location's blend of corporate activity on the Basin Ekspres business corridor and transit access reinforces its appeal for professionals and international visitors.

Homes & Amenities

As a hotel-branded residence, G Wanda Vista offers 320 serviced apartments alongside 127 hotel rooms, giving occupants access to five-star hospitality services and shared facilities managed to international standards. Residents can draw on hotel-style amenities including concierge support, dining venues and wellness spaces, together with secure parking and round-the-clock security. The serviced-apartment concept means housekeeping and reception services are available on demand, an unusual convenience for a residential tower and a natural fit for busy professionals or frequent travelers. Designed by the studio of Philippe Starck, the interiors carry a distinctive high-specification style, and panoramic city views open up from the upper floors. The overall experience sits closer to a luxury hotel than a conventional apartment block, appealing to buyers who value prestige and effortless living.

Investment Potential

G Wanda Vista's branded five-star management, Starck-designed interiors and position on the Basin Ekspres business corridor give it a strong short-stay and premium-rental profile, as serviced apartments in a recognized hotel brand tend to command higher rates and steady occupancy. Being ready to occupy removes construction risk and lets investors generate income immediately, while the prestige of a Mar Yapi and Wanda collaboration supports resale appeal. The concentration of corporate activity along Basin Ekspres adds a reliable base of business travelers and professional tenants.

Turkish Citizenship by Investment

• A purchase in this project can support a Turkish citizenship application only if the specific property meets the legal conditions: an official valuation report of at least USD 400,000, payment through the Turkish banking system, a three-year no-sale annotation on the title deed and a seller who is not a foreign national.
• Eligibility depends on the individual unit and the transaction, so it is confirmed case by case and cannot be assumed for the project as a whole. As your broker, we check these points for the property you are considering. Our guide to Turkish citizenship by investment explains the full process.
