The first phase includes 700 shops, a 20,000 square meter hypermarket, a fashion avenue, a diamond and crystal atrium, three food courts with more than 200 restaurants, a 3,300 square meter book garden with 67,000 volumes of books and several book stores, a cinema complex with 12 IMAX cinemas as well as a state-of-the-art 2,000-seat theater, a family entertainment center with a roofed amusement park, a museum, art galleries, a permanent car showroom, an Iranian Bazaar, and three hotels including a 5-star luxury hotel with 450 rooms, a 3,000-seat conference hall, a convention center, several galleries, and meeting and banquet facilities. Over 500 contractors and 25,000 workers took part in the construction of Iran Mall.[3]
The roof of the mall serves as a sports complex with long routes for hiking, cycling, and public activities. It includes 15 sports fields, tennis courts, a 12,000 square meter ice rink and swimming pools.
As of 2018, 1.4 million square meters with a net leasable area of 300,000 square meters have been opened as part of the first phase. When the project is completed, the total area of the mall will be 1.95 million square meters.[4]
In December 2020, the Ayandeh Bank announced the sale of the Iran Mall for $3.5 Billion.[5] The following month, 35% of the mall was sold to the Hami Kian Sazeh Company, but the sale was rejected by the Central Bank of Iran.[6] In March 2021, the mall's contractors protested in front of the Ayandeh Bank, asking for 6 years of unpaid rights.[7]
