Bayraklı Office Tower

The 32-storey office tower rising in Bayraklı, İzmir's new business district, is Rasyo's tallest unitised facade project to date. Being close to the coast, wind load and corrosion resistance were at the heart of the design.

Engineering

• Panel and anchor design using corner-zone pressures from wind tunnel data
• Panel joints with ±25 mm movement capacity for seismic inter-storey drift
• A mock-up three panels wide and two storeys high tested at an accredited laboratory

Status

As of November 2026, panels have been installed up to the 19th floor. Progress averages one and a half floors a week, and the facade is planned to be closed in the first quarter of 2027.

Panel installation follows about six floors behind the concrete frame, so interior fit-out can start floor by floor as the facade closes, shortening the overall building programme.
