A City that Combines History, Industry, and Urban Growth
Bursa is one of Turkey’s most important cities, combining rich Ottoman heritage, breathtaking nature, and a powerful industrial economy. Nestled between the slopes of the famous Mount Uludağ and vast green plains, it has earned the title “The Green City.”
In recent years, Bursa has become an ideal real estate destination for both Turkish and foreign investors, thanks to its rapid urban expansion, strong infrastructure, and direct connection to Istanbul via the O-5 highway and Osman Gazi Bridge.
Bursa: Urban Expansion Driven by Industry and Population Growth
Bursa is the fourth-largest city in Turkey, with a population exceeding 3.2 million, according to the latest official statistics.
This continuous population growth is driven by three main factors:
1. A Powerful Industrial Hub
Bursa hosts global automotive factories such as TOFAŞ and Renault, along with major textile, machinery, and food industries.
This massive industrial activity creates a constant and growing demand for housing.
2. Planned Urban Development
Over the past few years, Bursa has witnessed the development of dozens of modern residential projects, especially in areas like:
- Nilüfer
- Mudanya
- Osmangazi
- Kestel
- İnegöl
3. Strong Infrastructure
The city offers a modern transportation network, including trams, metro lines, and highways connecting Bursa to Istanbul, Yalova, İzmir, and surrounding regions.
All these factors have made Bursa one of Turkey’s strongest real estate markets in terms of demand and return on investment.
Why Do Investors Prefer Real Estate in Bursa?
- Prices are 25–40% lower than Istanbul
- Higher investment returns in newly developing districts
- A unique combination of mountain and winter tourism
- A conservative and family-friendly environment that attracts Gulf buyers
- Modern projects at affordable long-term investment prices
The Neighboring City: Yalova and Its Strategic Proximity to Bursa
Yalova is located only 45–60 minutes from downtown Bursa via a modern highway that connects the two cities smoothly.
This proximity has made Yalova a natural extension of Bursa, but with additional advantages:
- A quieter environment compared to industrial cities
- Coastal nature, forests, and thermal springs
- Lower real estate prices compared to Bursa and Istanbul
- Easy access to Istanbul via IDO ferries and Osman Gazi Bridge
For many investors, Yalova represents a smart choice that combines:
Yalova’s nature + Bursa’s industrial economy + Istanbul’s accessibility.
Why Did Omran Trk Choose Yalova Instead of Bursa?
Although Bursa is a strong strategic city, Omran Trk chose Yalova because it offers:
1. A Unique Location Between Bursa and Istanbul
A rare central point that guarantees long-term investment value.
2. A Peaceful Living Environment
Yalova’s calm atmosphere and modern urban character attract Gulf families looking for safe and comfortable living.
3. Higher Growth Potential
Yalova has been witnessing increasing demand for new residential projects every year.
4. Greater Opportunities for Development
The availability of land suitable for modern planning has enabled Omran Trk to develop successful projects such as:
- Cennet Yalova
- Cennet Çınarcık
- Al-Murouj Project
These projects have become distinguished landmarks in Yalova’s growing real estate market.
Conclusion
Bursa is a city where nature, industry, and modern urbanization come together—offering significant real estate opportunities.
However, nearby Yalova has emerged as a calmer and smarter alternative for investors seeking secure environments, modern projects, and a strategic location between Istanbul and Bursa.
For this reason, Omran Trk was among the first companies to adopt the vision of investing in Yalova, making it today one of the most prominent real estate destinations for Arab investors in Turkey.
