Sky Tower, Auckland

The Sky Tower of Auckland is an observation and telecommunications tower in Auckland, New Zealand. It is located on the corner of Victoria and Federal Streets, in the central business district of Auckland, New Zealand. Standing at a height of 328 metres, the Sky Tower is the tallest free-standing structure in the southern hemisphere, and the 13th tallest member of the World Federation of Great Towers.

The Sky Tower was open on 3 March, 1997. Its upper portion has two levels of restaurant, one level of café and two observation decks, including some sections with glass floor. As well as for entertainment, the tower is also used by Auckland Peering Exchange for telecommunications and broadcasting.

The Sky Tower inspired casino mogul Stanley Ho to construct the Macau Tower, using the same engineering and architectural firms.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
