Central Plaza
The heart of Pardis: a traditional bazaar, shops, cafes and food, and the stage for Persian celebrations throughout the year.
Where heritage meets horizon. A sustainable ecotown and cultural destination, built around Persian art, architecture and gardens.
Iranian-Americans have thrived for decades. Yet two concerns persist in families across the diaspora:
Today there is no shared place, physical or digital, for that kind of immersion. Pardis is designed to be one: a living community and destination that preserves Persian identity for future generations and welcomes everyone who admires Persian civilization.
The site plan takes the form of the lotus rosette carved into the stones of Persepolis, a symbol of renewal that has lasted more than 2,500 years.
At its center is a plaza and a great pool. Around it, each petal holds a different part of life in Pardis: places to live, to work and play, to grow food, and to rest in the shade of a Persian garden.
The lotus rosette at Persepolis, the inspiration for the plan.
A central plaza and four petals, each designed around a different way of living.
The heart of Pardis: a traditional bazaar, shops, cafes and food, and the stage for Persian celebrations throughout the year.
A hub for innovation and new ventures, attractions inspired by Persian culture, and space for sport and leisure.
Modern, efficient homes for young professionals and remote workers, plus a gathering place for visiting family and friends.
Quiet, low-density neighborhoods for families and retirees, with private gardens and homes close to nature.
A classic Persian garden with flowing water, alongside organic community gardens and small shared farms.
Persian architecture solved the problems of a hot, dry climate long before air conditioning: courtyards, shade, wind towers and water. Pardis brings those principles together with modern, sustainable building, so the town is as efficient as it is beautiful.
Pardis will grow in stages, each one building the community that makes the next possible.
An online home for Persian culture, open to Persian speakers and friends of Persian heritage everywhere: gatherings, events, language, poetry and art.
A first physical place on a smaller scale, where the Pardis experience of culture, gardens and community comes to life.
The full ecotown and cultural destination: the first of its kind in North America.
Pardis stands in a long line of thinkers who imagined better cities and communities, from the ancient world to today.
A team of development planners and designers, technologists and scholars, working to bring Pardis from vision to reality.
Pardis is taking shape now. We welcome conversations with families, partners, donors and investors who share the vision.
