Ormanada is located in northern Sarıyer, on the Kilyos–Sarıyer road, on 220,000 m² of land bordering the Belgrad Forest. Comprising 188 villas in five types along with townhouses offering garden and roof duplex options, the development stands out as one of the most sought-after communities in Zekeriyaköy thanks to its low-density master plan, its own social hub and its extensive landscaped grounds.

Developer and Architect

The project was developed by Eczacıbaşı Gayrimenkul Geliştirme ve Yatırım, part of the Eczacıbaşı Group, with Koray İnşaat as construction partner. The architectural design is a joint work by US-based Torti Gallas and Partners and Kreatif Mimarlık. Landscape design was carried out by Germany’s Rainer Schmidt Landscape Architects and infrastructure solutions by Tekyol Plus.

Completion Year

Construction began in 2011, handovers started in 2013 and all phases were completed in 2014. With a settled resident community and an established management structure, Ormanada now trades on the resale market and offers a strong option for buyers looking for a ready-to-move-in villa.

Unit Types and Layout

The villas were designed in five main types: L290, H380, L410, H480 and H700. The numbers in the type names indicate the approximate gross floor area, and layouts range from 4+1 to 7+1. The townhouses were designed as garden duplexes and roof duplexes, offering plan alternatives for different family sizes and a more compact entry point into villa-style living.

Floor Areas

• L290 villas: approximately 290 m²
• H380 villas: approximately 380 m²
• L410 villas: approximately 410 m²
• H480 villas: approximately 480 m²
• H700 villas: approximately 700 m²

Amenities

Social life at Ormanada centres on Adameydan, which meets residents’ daily needs on site. The square is home to Macrocenter, Starbucks, a pharmacy and a MacFit sports centre, of which all homeowners are members. Approximately 2,500 m² of social facilities include outdoor and indoor swimming pools, while two tennis courts (one of which can be enclosed), a basketball and multi-purpose sports court and eight children’s playgrounds support an active lifestyle.

The development also offers approximately 25,000 m² of green space, walking and cycling trails known as Adakoru, and Adabostan, a 5,000 m² kitchen garden where residents can access natural produce. Controlled access and 24/7 security provide a private living environment.

Current Price Range

Sale prices at Ormanada vary considerably depending on villa type, plot size, location, view and interior condition. H700 and H480 villas form the upper price segment, while townhouse duplexes offer a more accessible entry point into life at Ormanada.

Transportation

Ormanada is approximately 3 minutes from the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge connection and around 15 minutes from Istanbul Airport. Located about 4 km from the Sarıyer waterfront, the development connects to the M2 line via Hacıosman metro station, providing quick access to the Maslak and Levent business districts. The Kilyos beaches and the walking trails of the Belgrad Forest are also close by.

What Sets Ormanada Apart

• Backed by a leading corporate developer: Ormanada was developed as the Eczacıbaşı Group’s second major residential project after Kanyon.
• International design team: The project carries the signatures of internationally recognised firms, including Torti Gallas and Partners for architecture and Rainer Schmidt Landscape Architects for landscape design.
• A self-sufficient community hub: With a supermarket, café, pharmacy and sports centre at Adameydan, most daily needs are met on site.
• Low density in harmony with nature: 220,000 m² of land bordering the Belgrad Forest, 25,000 m² of green space and Adabostan create a setting that is rare even in Zekeriyaköy.
• A wide range of unit types: Options from townhouse duplexes to 700 m² villas serve different family sizes and budgets within the same standard of living.

Expert Assessment: Compared with other established developments in the area such as KÖY Zekeriyaköy, Ormanada distinguishes itself through its villa-focused layout, its corporate developer background and the scope of its on-site social life. Its proximity to the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and Istanbul Airport makes it particularly attractive for professionals working along Istanbul’s northern corridor. The planned Kilyos–Sarıyer Tunnel is expected to further strengthen the area’s connection to the city centre, supporting Ormanada’s long-term value potential.
