Until 2023, the headquarters of these banks were in Ankara. As of 2024, the tallest buildings in Ataşehir are the 352 m (1,154 ft 10 in) Turkish Central Bank Tower, which is followed by Metropol Istanbul Tower A (70 floors / 301 metres including its twin spires).
Unlike in Başakşehir, another satellite city (on the western part of the European side of Istanbul), no single-family house types were designed for Ataşehir's residential projects. Most buildings in Ataşehir are high-rise towers, while some of them (especially around the main public squares in the district) are among Istanbul's and Turkey's tallest skyscrapers.
The M4 line (Kozyatağı and Yenisahra stations) and the M8 line (Kozyatağı, Küçükbakkalköy, İçerenköy, Kayışdağı and Mevlana) of the Istanbul Metro serves the district.
