m

A.S.P. Towers also known as Kooy-e Nobonyad-e Vanak, are amongst the most well-known buildings in Tehran, Iran, located in the neighbourhood of Amir Abad. Among the first residential high-rises in Iran, the complex is known for having been the residence of many well-known Iranian figures, including Amir-Abbas Hoveyda, prime-minister under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Construction was carried out by A.S.P construction company and is believed to have started in the mid-1960s and completed in 1976. The complex was inaugurated by the then Shahbanu of Iran, Farah Pahlavi, in the same year. The complex consists of three buildings A, B, and C, with building A being the most luxurious of the three. The buildings are a landmark of Tehran and a major fixture of the city's skyline, with panoramic views of the Alborz Mountain Range and the Damavand peak to the east and the Milad Tower to the west.
