Downtown Baghdad Project: Transforming Baghdad’s Skyline
Progress continues on the ambitious Downtown Baghdad Project, a development set to transform the heart of the capital into a vibrant business and cultural hub. Construction teams are working diligently across multiple towers, advancing floor by floor to achieve a series of high-rise residential, office, and hotel towers, with heights reaching up to 50 stories.
As of November 2, 2024, significant construction activities are underway on key towers:
- Tower B has reached the 21st floor, where block cutting operations are actively ongoing.
- Tower C has progressed to the 12th floor, where intricate carpentry work is taking place to shape the ceilings.
- Tower E is undergoing extensive plastering and finishing work on floors 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 16, showing substantial interior advancements.
- Tower F is seeing wall cutting efforts that contribute to the detailed partitioning of spaces.
- Tower G is focused on reinforcing and setting up columns on the 22nd floor, reinforcing structural integrity at this height.
- Tower I is also active with foundational pile work, adding stability with a total of 202 piles (P130 and P60).
The project is supported by a dedicated workforce of 469 professionals, including engineers, operators, carpenters, welders, and safety personnel, ensuring that each phase adheres to the highest standards of quality and safety. Daily safety checks are conducted meticulously, such as verifying fire extinguisher placements and installing precautionary barriers on critical floors.
With each passing day, the Downtown Baghdad Project progresses closer to its goal of establishing an architectural landmark for Baghdad—a space that merges commerce, culture, and community. This project is poised to revitalize the city center, offering modern amenities, green spaces, and an array of services designed to enhance the urban experience for Baghdad’s residents and visitors alike.
