$120 million housing project for Baghdad
Work on a new housing project, billed as the largest in Baghdad, has began this week, according to Baghdad Governor Salah Abdulrazzaq.
Abdulrazzaq said the project, which will cost $120 million, will take four years to complete.
“This project includes 690 housing units, 48 10-story buildings, malls and other annexes,” he said.
He said the project, to be constructed by a foreign firm, will employ 1,200 Iraqis.
“It is part of the a larger scheme which calls for the construction of 1 million housing units in the country,” Abdulrazzaq said.
More housing projects are scheduled to start in the near future, according to Abdulrazzaq.
“In the coming days, we are going to lay the foundation stone for four other important housing projects,” he said.
The four projects are part of housing the government wants to build for low-income Iraqis.
“Two of the four projects will have 10,000 housing units each and the other two 2,400 units each,” Abdulrazzaq said.
“The stability of the security situation has directly contributed to implementing such big projects,” he said.
