The builder of Ekbatan died / Rahman Golzari’s account of the construction of Ekbatan town

According to Tejarat News, Rahman Golzar, the builder and architect of the huge structure of Ekbatan, said goodbye to Darfani yesterday, December 17, 2014. He was born in 1308 and also received the Amin al-Zarb badge.

Golzar was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but said his birth certificate listed Mashhad as his birthplace.

His grandfather’s hometown was Shabestar, and people there often migrated to neighboring countries to work, so his father went to Uzbekistan with his grandfather and other brother, but Golzar’s father returned to Iran and founded a new industry. It produced potato juice for confectionery. Golzar died when his father was 12 years old.

He entered the Faculty of Fine Arts. While studying, he also worked on construction projects. After a while, he decided to start his own business. He became independent and was able to get an office in a short time. He had not finished his studies yet, but his work was so acceptable that it gained a lot of trust.

“When I got married, I built more than 100 houses,” he said. “But the university course I had to complete in 6-5 years took 110 years to complete.”

Golzari’s account of finding the land of Ekbatan

Golzar’s account of finding the land of Ekbatan is also interesting. “I built a four-story apartment for myself, with two apartments on each floor,” he said. When the building was being completed, one day a man from Tehran met the criteria and insisted on buying apartments. He suddenly offered a figure of one million tomans, which was a considerable figure for that time. I also accepted, but he said: I will pay 800 thousand tomans in cash; But instead of 200,000 tomans, I have a piece of land with an area of ​​100,000 square meters that I will give you.

That land was where the town of Ekbatan is now built. When I saw the earth, the thought of urban planning suddenly came to my mind. However, when I bought the land, everything around it was empty. I researched to find the owners of those lands. 450,000 square meters of land in front of my land (100,000 square meters) belonged to the Mafi regime of one of the Qajar rulers who lived in Paris.

We went to his agent in Iran to get permission to sell us the land from Nizamat al-Saltanah, but Nizamat al-Saltanah said that I should talk to him in Paris. When I was supposed to go to the Sultanate, I had only five million tomans in cash, which was the result of a partnership with Abbas Masufarosh in Ekbatan. The original plan of Ekbatan came to my mind when I saw AvenueFoch, one of the most beautiful streets in Paris, where the Sultanate lived. I also bought that land. So I bought the 100,000 square feet I already had and another 450,000 square feet of land. After that, the thoughts of Ekbatan town started to grow.

The late Rahman Golzar emigrated to the United States shortly before the Islamic Revolution, and was once invited to Iran once under the government of the late Hashemi Rafsanjani, but their cooperation did not end. He spent many days in exile and tears always flowed from his eyes when he heard the name Iran. Rahman Golzar Shabestari, investor and builder of Ekbatan town in Tehran, died yesterday at the age of 92 in Florida, USA.
