    Property markets are strictly affected by the infrastructure networks. This study explores the impacts of urban infrastructure projects on urban space and housing. From this point forth, the research questions are built upon a case study: Marmaray Mass Rapid Railway System that ties the separated suburban train systems locating on European and Asian sides in Istanbul through an underwater tunnel. These impacts are aimed to observe by analysing the standard land values. Street-based standard land values are specified as the datasets in which population data are also inserted. In this process, conceptualising the network-city relationship is the first step whereas the initial rent theories are studied in the following. After the impacts of urban transportation projects on the property market are reviewed in contemporary literature, it presents a brief history of Istanbul macro form in relation to urban transportation. For the analysis 2010, 2014 and 2018 are chosen as the dataset since 2010 is when the suburban train systems are still in operation; 2013 is when the suburban train systems stop working due to the construction of a new system which is namely the Marmaray. 2014 and 2018 are the date when the Marmaray is partly operated. Specified datasets are analysed in the way of agglomerative hierarchical analysis. Afterwards, clustered groups are visualised on the geographical information systems. Findings indicate that major changes are not displayed on the general view maps and neighbourhood-based maps. However, significant findings are monitored on the street-based maps where findings are observed in detail. By this way, changes of values around the train stations are observed. To sum up, the absence of the suburban train systems causes a change of distribution balance of values more than their existence. Besides, the impacts of the absence of the system are not majorly viewed in the saturated areas. Also, for the areas around the Marmaray train stations that are partly operated, it is indicated some agglomerative increases.
