The Plasco Building (Persian: ساختمان پلاسکو, romanized: Sâxtmâne Plâskô) is a 20-story high-rise (5 floors below and 15 floors above ground) landmark building in Tehran, the capital city of Iran. The former building at the time of its construction in the 1960s, it was the tallest building in Iran[1] and was considered an iconic part of the Tehran skyline.[2] It collapsed on 19 January 2017 during a high-rise fire.[3] Construction of the new building began in 2018 and was completed in 2021.
