nice, i want to see more malls built in iran, specially tehran, the air is way too polouted to go out shopping for a day

Tehran has tons of malls, every city in iran has tons of malls. they are everywhere.

yeh but there aint no seriously huge malls which have every thing on offer. there r seriously huge malls which sell computer equipment or well mobile phones, in tehran every where u look there are mobile phone shops its amazing... but im talking about everything from cookwear to cloths shops to technology, the only place i found these malls was in kish

I agree with shugs like in shiraz you dont have a lot of mega malls, but the fun thing is that they are under construction! :D Karaj is the most important sub urb for Tehran so it really needed something like this. We should realise that this sub urb is almost as big as esfahan!

i went to mashad malls and they were like the ones in the USA (big, nice, and with everything), i went to malls in tehran with everything, etc.... i dont know what you guys are talking about.

hahaha i love it "sub urb" karaj used to be a city of its own, but now as u sed its almost part of tehran... thats what u get from urban sprawl eh

Nice mall, and here is some more info:

The size of the mall is 27 000 m2 and it includes; 413 shops and resturants, A food court, 10 escalators, 11 entrances with a parking for 194 cars.

There are plenty of those malls in Tehran . Ever heard of "Shahvand" ??? It has 6 or 7 stores in Tehran .

isn't shahvand a supermarket type store similar to walmart?

yeh shahvand is a supermarket, theres one near my pad in amir abad... on the Alehahmad expway, the area called khezehkhaleh. yeh if i want to do my groceries id go there but i want to do all my shopping in one place then hop onto a lift that takes me to the car park when i can jump in my car then get stuck in a trafic jam for atleast an hour and finaly get home ;)

you drive in iran? i would be scared to!

Mahestan Shopping Center

Situated so closely to main streets and boulevards the Mahestan Shopping Center’s inherent geographic location is a cause of its high economic growth rate.
The Mahastan Shopping Center (MSC) is located in the northern part of Karaj city, in the environs of the beautiful Alborz Mountains.
MSC is near to Nabovvat Park and close to well-populated areas of the city.
It has easy connections to the city center, the subway network and Tehran-Karaj free way.
MSC has been planned to meet the needs of neighboring tower bloc residents, the growing population of the northern part of Karaj, and the several million residents of Karaj and nearby cities.
With the aim of attracting famous and popular shops and chain stores, MSC can provide both seasonal and the occasional shopping experience, cutting down on transportation times for customers.
The design and construction management of MSC have been undertaken by Maha Banaye Shahr Company.
This project is under construction with the cooperation of Tehran Building and Urban Organization and foreign investment.
MSC is the outcome of the effort, knowledge, experience, artistic flair and continuous patience of engineers that have combined the concepts of reinstating the civilization of this land with the tourism identity of Karaj city.
This project is rooted in precious heritage and with the benefit of modern technology and materials, will create an advanced development suitable for the metropolitan city of Karaj and its citizens.
In designing the MSC, recent engineering technology is used together with Islamic-Persian architectural traits to create a modern shopping center cast in the beauty of the old bazaars of Iran.
This innovative design concept combines the characteristics of both the ancient bazaar and contemporary shopping centers.
Stores on all floors are arranged along a kilometer stretch of lobby, moderately sloped, so that all stores are accessible without the use of the stairs, elevators and escalators which connect each storey.
MSC’s exterior design will take on a classical form mixed with modern materials that represent the original architecture of traditional bazaars in a modern form.
These are unique characteristics to this shopping center.
MSC is scheduled to open in two phase.
In each phase, all stores will start their activities at the same time.
Given the wide public spaces and the large number of stores, the MSC has been divided into many different parts and each part is designated for a special kind of business activity.
There are also some sections that are left for family entertainment.
