Sarıgazi is an underground station on the M5 line of the Istanbul Metro.[2][3] It is located under Eski Ankara Street at Nazım Hikmet Park in the Inönü neighbourhood of Sancaktepe. It was opened on 16 March 2024 with the M5 line extension from Çekmeköy to Samandıra Merkez.[1]
There is an entrance at Ankara Street at the station (Entrance 1). Entrance 2 will be located in the form of a pedestrian tunnel on Atatürk Street near the Sancaktepe District Governorship building and is currently in the planning stage. There are 6 elevators ('lifts' on station signage) and 10 escalators in the station.[4]
Since it has a station structure integrated with the M5 station, some of the platforms of the M13 line are being built within the scope of M5 construction.[5]

[edit]On 10 August 2021, the first of the TBMs, which started excavation from Sancaktepe Station in January, reached Sarıgazi with the Sarıgazi Station TBM Transition Ceremony of the Çekmeköy - Sultanbeyli Metro, which was held by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. The first TBM completed the excavation in the TBM Shaft near Çekmeköy Station in January 2022.[6][7]
On 3 December 2021, TBM-2 reached Sarıgazi Station and completed the TBM excavation.[8]
On 4 May 2023, the first test drive was carried out with the test train departing from Çekmeköy, heading to Meclis and Sarıgazi stations, the electrification of which was completed.[9]
