The station was closed on 1 February 2012, when all train traffic between Pendik and Arifiye was temporarily suspended due to construction of the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed railway.[2] It was demolished shortly thereafter and a new station built in its place, consisting of an island platform serving two tracks, with a third express track on the south side.

Güzelyalı Station is expected to open in late-2018 along with the entire Marmaray line.
