Architectural Design

Located on Istanbul's European side, 70 km from the city centre, Silivri — with its spacious plots, coastal proximity and relatively accessible land prices — sits near the top of villa investors' shortlists. As Home Yapı Mühendislik, operating in the district for 15 years, we walk you through the process of building a villa in Silivri.
Land Selection in Silivri
The first priority when searching for villa land in Silivri is zoning status. Construction is not permitted on agricultural or forest-classified plots. Plots with residential zoning and clearly stated TAKS and KAKS values should be preferred. Districts such as Selimpaşa, Gümüşyaka, Kumburgaz and Büyükçavuşlu stand out in terms of infrastructure and neighbourhood quality for villa development. Always obtain a zoning status certificate from the Silivri Municipality planning office before committing to a purchase.
The Permit Process in Silivri
The documents required for a permit application to Silivri Municipality align with Istanbul-wide standards: title deed, zoning status certificate, architectural project, structural project, geotechnical report, service projects and energy declaration. With a complete file, the permit process can be completed in 45–75 days. Working with a firm that knows the local zoning regulations and the municipality's technical expectations significantly reduces the risk of resubmissions and delays.
Villa Costs in Silivri
Based on 2025 data, for a 200 m² two-storey villa in Silivri, the key handover construction cost excluding land is: mid-range materials, 5–7 million TRY; sea-view or luxury specification project, 9–13 million TRY. These figures include architectural and structural design, permit fees, geotechnical survey and landscaping. Compared with central Istanbul districts, labour costs are similar but Silivri's land price advantage makes a meaningful difference to the overall project budget.
