Also, please make sure that you're crediting any photos you post here with a link to the website where you found them.

Location: Kirkuk Road (replacing Naze Mall and next to Tangram Hotel)
Cost: $120
Includes 400 apartments and office rooms
Completion: 2015
Area: 32000 m2

This is the Tower Design which will replace Naza Mall. The top floor will be a restaurant and the guests will get to see all of the city from it. the underground car park can take 3000 cars. The owners are both local Kurds, they are the former owner of Naza mall Shahab Nuradin who owned Naze mall and the owner of Kurmanj company Sabah Nuri.

The Kurdish Engineer Firaz Ahmed undertaking the construction announced "we did not copy the architecture from any country, we had a look in UK, Turkey, Lebanon, Dubai, Kuwait, Iran and decided to take advantage from their high rise buildings but to build something specific for Kurdistan.

This tower is the tallest in the middle east.





Construction has began

Wow - paging through this thread is like watching simcity on fast forward. . .

I don't know what to make of this kind of hyper development of a brand new city. We don't have anything like it in the west. It must be interesting to live in a place that transforms that radically that fast.

So, is Iraq like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and they hire a lot of foreigners to build these things? Or is it mostly locals doing it?

Just curious.

first this is Kurdistan autonomous region where Kurds leave not i-raq arab. arab i-raq is not booming in anyway daily bombings is a routine, Kurdistan was liberated in 1991 NOT 2003, which many people do not know .

and for workers its both.

for eg look at this super tall tower Naze tower
