In the 1990s, Stanley Ho, Managing Director of Macau Tourism and Entertainment Co., Ltd., visited Auckland, the former capital of New Zealand, and was deeply impressed by the city's Sky Tower.
After returning to Macau, he decided to build a similar tower in Macau, so he invited the famous New Zealand architect Gordon Moller to design it.
