Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid and commissioned by the Central Bank of Iraq in 2010, this 37-story office skyscraper rises 172 meters on the banks of the Tigris River in Baghdad's Al-Jadiriya district. Construction began in late 2018 with completion scheduled for 2026. Upon completion, it will become the tallest building in Baghdad and the second tallest in Iraq. Beyond serving as the new headquarters for the Central Bank of Iraq, the tower incorporates diverse functional spaces including a VIP entrance, museums, visitor facilities, cash management and data centers, security operations, and landscaping areas, representing a significant contemporary addition to Iraq's urban landscape.
