Rönesans Rezidans (Renaissance Residenz) is a residential building in Ekinci, Antakya, that as of February 2023 is in a wrecked state. It is the first Residenz in Hatay. On 6 February 2023, it was destroyed as a result of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake. The building was constructed between 2011 and 2012 as Hatays first Residenz and was the home of many more well off residents of Antakya being a more luxurious and upper segment residence. It was created by Antis Yapi, a company that has been around for several decades. During its collapse following the first earthquake it is believed to have trapped or killed at least over 800 people, rescue efforts for survivors are still ongoing. It has been noted that the structure of the building was strong and that it did not collapse but rather was pushed over by the earthquake as Dr. Ahmet Ercan puts it. The amplitude of the shockwave of the first earthquake centered in Gaziantep had dramatically increased by the time it was in Hatay Province causing much more intense and violent movement throughout Hatay than its origin in Gaziantep. Architect/Engineer Yoshinori Moriwaki said that the building lacked friction piles which could have prevented the collapse. The building however did have a floating raft system. Geophysics Professor Ahmet Ercan said that the foundation of the building likely was not as deep as it should have been to prevent its collapse, saying that it appears to be about 3 meters when it should probably have been about 10. Permits for the building were granted in 2012 by the Ekinciler Belde Municipality. According to Lütfü Savaş everything in the construction was likely done properly and in accordance with regulations.
