A.S.P. Towers (also known as Kooy-e Nobonyad-e Vanak, Persian: ساختمانهای آ.اس.پ) are amongst the most well-known buildings in Tehran, Iran. They're located in the neighbourhoods of Amir Abad and Yusef Abad in the corner of Kordestan and Hakim Highway.
They were among the first residential high-rises in Iran and have housed some of the most well-known Iranian figures over the years, including Amir-Abbas Hoveyda, prime-minister under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The construction was carried out by A.S.P construction company and is believed to have started in the mid-1960s. The complex consists of three buildings named A, B, and C, with building A being the most luxurious of the three.
The panoramic view of the three buildings includes the Alborz Mountain Range and the Damavand peak to the east and the Milad Tower to the west. They have been a landmark of Tehran and a major point in the city's skyline since being completed in 1976. The towers were inaugurated by the then Shahbanu of Iran, Farah Pahlavi, in the same year.
