On 20 December 2013, the line was commissioned to Kalyon Group for construction.[3] The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 9 February 2014. The line is 20 km (12 mi) long with 17 stations.

The line is divided into three phases.[4] Currently, it is partly in service. The section between Mecidiyeköy and Mahmutbey was inaugurated on 28 October 2020.[5] The Mecidiyeköy - Kabataş[6] and Mahmutbey - Esenyurt Meydan[7] phases are still under construction, and there is also a planned extension between the stations Esenyurt Meydan - Saadetdere.

When fully completed, the M7-line will be connecting twelve districts of the Istanbul metropolitan area, namely Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş, Şişli, Kağıthane, Eyüp, Gaziosmanpaşa, Esenler, Bağcılar, Küçükçekmece, Avcılar, Başakşehir and Esenyurt. It is projected that 300 cars of driverless metro trains will carry about one million passengers daily. The total travel time will be 31.5 minutes between the termini. The M7 line costs 3.7 billion (approx. US$1 billion).[8]

It was opened on 2 January 2023 as a shuttle between Mecidiyeköy and Yıldız. With the opening of the Kabataş stage in June 2025, the direct line will continue to the shuttle operation place. From Mecidiyeköy, one platform goes to Mahmutbey direction and the other to Yıldız direction.

Trains run on the Mecidiyeköy - Mahmutbey section every 6 minutes, and on the Yıldız - Mecidiyeköy section every 12 minutes.
