The tower was built by Promet Berhad – an oil rig and building construction company – at a cost of RM 50 million, and was expected to be completed by May 1985. The tower, which is the first of its kind to be built by a local authority, is used to generate income. Each rented floor would generate about RM 500,000 annually.[1]
The building was officially opened in October 1987 by Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah of Selangor.
