Milad Tower, also known as the Tehran Tower, is a multi-purpose tower in Tehran, Iran. It is the sixth-tallest tower and the 24th-tallest freestanding structure in the world.It is located between Qarb Town and the district of Gisha, standing at 435 meters from the base to the tip of the antenna. The head consists of a large pod with 12 floors, the roof of which is at 315 meters.The tower is a part of the International Trade and Convention Center of Tehran, which also includes a five-star hotel, a convention center, a world trade center and an IT park.HistoryBackgroundThe tower was first proposed as part of the "Shahestan Pahlavi" project, in Tehran's Abbas Abad district, and was designed by American urban planner Jaquelin Robertson. The site was planned to encompass five million square meters, a third of which was to be open space, and to accommodate 50,000 residents, as well as government ministries, commercial offices and a number of cultural centers, including museums, performing arts facilities and libraries. The project would have cost about $5 billion ($21 billion adjusted for inflation). The firm also employed Lisa Halaby, the future Queen Noor of Jordan. After the 1979 Revolution, the project was cancelled.ConstructionThe construction of the tower was commenced in 1997. Upon completion of its 11-year-long construction in 2008, the Milad Tower was considered the fourth-tallest freestanding telecommunication tower in the world. The tower was opened a year later, in 2008, albeit numerous conflicts on the history of the tower still prevail, such as some sources suggesting that the commencement of the tower's construction was a year earlier instead of 2000 and that the tower was completed a year later instead of 2007.
