Private sector to build ‘Gold City’ at Imam Khomeini airport
A private sector investor has signed a contract for constructing a “Gold City” at the Imam Khomeini International Airport, said the CEO of the airport on Sunday.
"Based on the contract executed with the private sector, Gold City will be constructed by the end of next Iranian year (to begin on March 20, 2026)," ISNA quoted Saeed Chalandari as saying.
Chalandari said, "Given that construction costs are lower in the free zone and equipment import is easier in this area, the private sector executed a contract for constructing the building in this airport city.”
The airport head stressed, "The gold trade guild, as well as gold exhibitions, are planned to be located in this building. Raw gold will be imported to this center, transformed into various products including jewelry there, and then exported both domestically and internationally."
"Based on the executed contract, this building must be constructed and the company must commence its operations by the end of next year," he concluded.
