#PROJECT: (U/C) Tehran International Communications Center
Tehran International Communications Center Project :
After studies on 17 proposed sites, an area on the northern tip of Kouye Nasr District, overlooking a series of highways in northwest Tehran was chosen as the site of the project. The high elevation of the site and easy access to various districts are among pluses of the location. It overlooks four major highways of the capital, namely Resalat, Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri, Hemmat and Chamran.
The complex builds on of modern communications technology to advance the commercial, economic and cultural cause of the nation. Besides, it is designed in a way that each section, although independent and specialized in nature, complements others and makes use of their facilities.
