Six Turkish companies won a $11.3 billion housing contract to redevelop the Sadr City district of Baghdad, Hurriyet said.
The group, which includes Kur Insaat, Kazova Insaat, Iskaya AS and Kocoglu Insaat, won the four-year contract from the Baghdad municipality yesterday, according to the Istanbul-based newspaper.
The companies will build 75,000 housing units, providing accomodation for more than half a million people in the impoverished shanty district, Hurriyet said. Funding will come from the central Iraqi government, it said.
