The Consulate General of the United States in Erbil (Kurdish: کونسوڵخانەی گشتی ئەمریکا لە هەولێر) is the diplomatic mission of the United States of America in Kurdistan region, Iraq. Ambassador Alina Romanowski is currently the chief of mission.[1][2]
Architectural renderings of the compact main structure show an impressive entryway of glass and stone, with fabric shades and a latticed roof. Outer buildings in the sprawling 50-acre campus include housing, recreation areas and security for the resident diplomats. The consulate’s large size is one of the main talking points behind it. It will be “one of the largest U.S. diplomatic facilities in the world by area,” the Office of the Spokesperson for the Department of State’s Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) told New Lines. The construction contract awarded in 2017 was for $568 million, though subsequent cost estimates have put the new facility’s price tag at $800 million.[3]
Construction was originally scheduled to wrap up in 2022, with a move-in date of January 2023, but delays have repeatedly pushed that back. “Construction is estimated to be completed in spring 2025 barring any major disruptions,” the OBO said.[4]
