The Macau Tower is a communications and entertainment tower in Sé, Macau. The infobox credits Craig Craig Moller Ltd., and the text names Gordon Moller. The design was modeled on Auckland's Sky Tower. The casino billionaire Stanley Ho commissioned it after visiting Auckland. The owner is Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau, and Shun Holdings operates it. Construction began in 1998, and it opened on December 19, 2001.
It was built as part of the Nam Van land reclamation project. The tower rises 1,109 feet (338 m) to the spire and 814 feet (248 m) to the roof. Its observation deck, restaurants, theaters and malls share space with broadcast equipment.
Visitors can walk outside the rim on the Skywalk X. The tethered skyjump launches from 764 feet (233 m), which the article calls the highest commercial skyjump in the world.
