Giyimkent-Tekstilkent is an underground station on the M7 line of the Istanbul Metro.[2][3] It is located on Giyimkent Street in the Oruçreis neighbourhood of Esenler. It was opened on 28 October 2020.[4]
The M7 line operates as fully automatic unattended train operation (UTO). The station consists of an island platform with two tracks. Since the M7 is an ATO line, protective gates on each side of the platform open only when a train is in the station.[5]
Tekstilkent Depot, the main depot for the M7 line, is located north of the station.[6]
The station has an underground carpark with 203 spaces.[1]
