City of Future

iLand is the land of Iranians. An international-grade town with recreational, residential, commercial, and sports facilities designed by Tose’e Sayahan Sarzamin Iranian Co. in order to provide an ideal lifestyle for all Iranians.

The diverse uses of iLand City such as attractive and unique sports-recreational complexes, shopping centers, tourist facilities, beautiful promenades, and urban neighborhoods with different classic and modern themes have been defined and designed in 24 projects by 5 holdings and 24 affiliated companies.

iLand is honored to be the first and the largest multipurpose complex in Iran. One of the core features of this complex is the synergy caused by the placement of these facilities in a single complex and connections to locate different projects in the vicinity of each other.

iLand History:

After great efforts of the executive team, this complex was launched in 2011 with Homologation A of the world federation.

Along with these activities and after gaining the necessary experience in the field of tourism in the UAE, the thought of developing sports-tourism activities led to the idea of constructing Parand Tourist Town.

The criteria presented in iLand City master plan are the result of various studies in social, economic, environmental, geographic, physical, and engineering fields. The application of these criteria in the issuance of construction permits (along with land uses proposed in the main development document of iLand City) aim to control the capacity threshold of iLand City. Accordingly, the ultimate point of this plan is the realization of the preplanned ideal iLand City.

As the most important executive document for realizing the vision, objectives, and long-term strategies of development, the document of regulations and guidelines is a tool to direct and control the physical transformations and organize Iland City based on the predesigned system of land uses.

This document was developed based on the proceedings of Iran’s Supreme Council for Urbanism and Architecture, dated May 31, 2010, for defining urban land uses concepts, their per capital and the permissible performance of urban land uses according to the levels of urban divisions as well as the act of the Cabinet of Iran, dated March 16, 2009, and other relevant regulations.
