In Madinat Al Ward, that step is the first 1,000 homes in Madinat Al Ward, as the ground begins to prepare to receive them within Al Waha, the city's first neighborhood. Under the theme "a thousand-mile journey begins with a thousand homes," the designs move from paper to reality. In this article, we review the details of this milestone and what it means for buyers. The Ground Prepares to Receive the First 1,000 Homes The ground has begun preparing to receive this first batch of a thousand units, with preparation and leveling works nearing completion, ahead of launching the main construction works in Al Waha. At an accelerated pace, thousands of workers meet the latest equipment, so that the features of a new life begin to emerge. Al Waha: The First Residential Destination Al Waha is the first residential destination in Madinat Al Ward; a luxury community surrounded by green spaces, offering standalone homes of villas, twin houses, and townhouses within a safe, fully serviced environment. Unit sizes start at around 190 square meters with three to five bedrooms, to suit different family sizes and lifestyles. This variety lets each household choose the model that best fits them within the same neighborhood. Construction Led by Global Hands The start of construction comes after a series of careful steps: PowerChina completed the earthworks and ground preparation, then ORA Iraq signed the construction contract with CRC Dorra (the Engineering Company for Construction and Reconstruction - Dorra), which brings more than 80 years of experience. This sequence ensures a solid foundation for the first 1,000 homes. Want to be among the first residents of Al Waha? Contact the ORA Iraq team at info@ora-iraq.com or call 7199. What Does This Step Mean for Buyers? Starting to prepare the ground for this first batch means the project has moved from planning to actual delivery. For buyers, this strengthens confidence and makes the ownership decision more reassuring; the units are no longer just plans, but homes taking shape on the ground. And those who move early get the best options in location and view. Launching with a first batch of a thousand units also reflects the project's seriousness and its commitment to timelines, and gives families a clearer picture of the life awaiting them in Al Waha — a complete neighborhood rather than a single building. Life Amid the Greenery The value of living in Al Waha is not limited to the unit itself, but extends to its surroundings. The neighborhood is wrapped in expansive green spaces and walking paths, within a safe, fully serviced environment that gives families a healthy, balanced way of life from day one. And with the neighborhood connected to the main roads leading to the city, access becomes easier and faster. Financing That Makes Ownership Easier To make ownership easier, unit prices start from 400 million IQD, with monthly installments from more than 3 million IQD for up to 6 years, alongside a home financing program in partnership with the National Bank of Iraq. The units come with a clear freehold (Tabu Sirf) deed. FAQ Where are Madinat Al Ward's first homes being built?
