There are three major categories to focus on with regards to real estate in Iraq and KRI. The first two are financial and infrastructural, the money that changes hands here and the development plans that have rapidly changed certain areas of the cities in the region. But the third category - environmental sustainability - often goes overlooked. While water and electricity are quickly becoming leading topics in the country, it's important to focus on exactly how these development plans will evolve to meet the challenges of the next decade.

We discuss the challenges he's had starting his business in Sulaimani, and his own insight on the future of housing for the next generation.
