The projects of the Izmir Metropolitan Main Service Building were obtained as a result of the “Architectural Project Competition” opened in 1966. Construction of the building began in 1968, but was inaugurated in 1982. After the earthquake that took place on October 30, the technical examinations carried out on the unused building were reported to be slightly or moderately damaged, and it was recommended that the building be strengthened and used. Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer In a post on his social media account on November 27, he stated that they did not prefer to strengthen it and said, “We will demolish the Main Municipality Building and build a symbolic presidential and parliamentary building that integrates with the Government House and add the remaining area to Atatürk Square. Good luck to Izmir and the people of Izmir. I hope it will set an example for other public institutions in Konak.”
