Skaya Tower - Tartus

Engineering Durability into a Coastal Landmark

Rising prominently along the Mediterranean coast, Skaya Tower in Tartus is one of Syria’s tallest modern high-rise buildings. Standing at 33 floors with a built-up area of approximately 18,000 m², the project represents a new benchmark in mixed-use urban development in Tartus.

But iconic architecture alone is not enough. In coastal cities, performance defines longevity.

The Challenge of High-Rise Construction in Coastal Syria

Constructing a high-rise building in Tartus presents complex environmental challenges:

  • High humidity levels

  • Salt-laden coastal air

  • Intense UV exposure

  • Heavy commercial foot traffic

Without advanced protective systems, these factors can accelerate façade degradation, color fading, and floor wear.

For Skaya Tower, long-term durability was not optional — it was a core design requirement.

Why Skaya Tower Partnered with AEC

High-profile developments require more than product supply — they require technical partnership.

Skaya Tower collaborated with AEC, a trusted national provider of advanced coating solutions in Syria, to specify and implement premium Jotun coating systems tailored to coastal performance conditions.

Through:

  • Detailed specification support

  • On-site technical consultation

  • Application guidance

  • Performance-focused product selection

AEC ensured that every coating system aligned with international standards and the project’s long-term maintenance strategy.

Jotun Coating Systems Used at Skaya Tower

To ensure optimal protection and aesthetic consistency, the following systems were implemented:

Fenomastic My Home Smooth Silk

A premium interior emulsion providing a smooth silk finish with excellent washability — ideal for offices and shared commercial spaces requiring refined aesthetics.

Jotashield ColorLast

A high-performance exterior coating engineered for superior UV resistance and long-lasting color retention — particularly suited for coastal climates like Tartus.

Jotafloor Topcoat E

A heavy-duty epoxy floor system designed to withstand high foot traffic in commercial environments.

Jotafloor PU Topcoat

A polyurethane floor finish offering enhanced abrasion resistance, flexibility, and long-term surface durability.

Protecting Asset Value Through Technical Excellence

In commercial high-rise developments, coatings are more than decorative finishes — they are strategic protection systems.

By selecting premium exterior paint systems in Syria, durable commercial floor coatings, and performance-driven interior finishes, Skaya Tower safeguards:

  • Structural longevity

  • Maintenance efficiency

  • Brand image and aesthetic value

  • Long-term operational costs

The result is a building engineered not only to stand tall — but to endure.

Skaya Tower: A Model for Future-Ready Development in Syria

Today, Skaya Tower stands as a symbol of modern construction in Tartus. Its collaboration with AEC demonstrates how high-rise buildings in Syria can integrate global coating standards with local environmental realities.

For developers seeking durability, performance, and technical reliability, Skaya Tower sets a clear precedent.
