E1 Tower

E1 Tower is a modern high-rise in Erbil with 48 floors reaching 180 meters, making it Iraq's tallest building. Its glass exterior offers wide city views and houses 400 apartments, office spaces, a restaurant, fitness center, and indoor pool.

Construction began in 2019 under Kirmanj Construction Company, marking a turning point in Erbil's urban expansion. This project represented the city's ambitious modernization efforts during that period.

The tower blends contemporary design with architectural references to Erbil Citadel visible in its roofline. This combination reflects how the city honors its heritage while embracing modern development.

The complex offers ample parking with 400 spaces across multiple levels, making vehicle access straightforward. Visitors should note that the glass exterior can be very bright on sunny days and the height may affect those sensitive to heights.

The tower's foundation rests on 226 steel piles driven 27 meters deep into Erbil's clay soil. This engineering solution showcases the technical challenges of construction in the region.
