Tehran: New tastes for high standard living

Do you mind taking your brand new Mercedes to 20th floor in a Kamranieh Borj penthouse and swim in your own swimming pool right up in your apartment? Tehran, a city of 12 million population in not what we remember in our childhood memories. It has been drastically changed in the last few years and for most of us living abroad, it has an unfamiliar face. In the last few years, City Municipalities had issued building permits to allow land owners and developers built few hundred percents over the capacity of their lands; in answer to high demand for new housing and rapid growth of population migrating to Capital.  High-rise builder as they call them: "Borj-Saz" became a new profession  for high rank developers.  Borj-Saz  basically are the old Besaz-Befroos type with more capital to invest and more connections in City Municipality.  They usually team up with structural engineers more likely than architects and pre-sell their Borj before even starting the construction; It can be sold for more than 1.3 Million Tomans per square Meter. Recently new Tehran Mayor has put a halt for issuing such permits for these Borjes.  They have found out about their mistakes when it is too late!  Tehran urbanites would remeber their pain and carry on this scar in the face of their city for a long time, if not forever!
