The Central Bank of Iraq Tower (Arabic: برج البنك المركزي العراقي), also known as the Zaha Hadid Tower, is a 37-story office skyscraper under construction located on the banks of the Tigris river in the Al-Jadiriya district of Baghdad, Iraq. Upon completion, it will be the second largest building in the country after E1 tower in Erbil, and the tallest building in the capital city with a height of 172 m (564 ft).
The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) had commissioned the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid in 2010 to design the project, and was presented in 2011, however construction on the project only began in late 2018. It is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
