The complex was designed on the basis of a resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers and by order of the Ministry of Communications of the Azerbaijan SSR by the State Design Institute of the Ministry of Communications of the USSR.
Construction work began in 1979. According to the project, construction should have been completed in 1985. However, for certain reasons, construction work on the complex was suspended. The construction of the television tower was continued in 1993 and in 1996 the official opening ceremony of the complex took place.
In 2008, reconstruction works were carried out on the TV tower; at a height of 175 meters (27th floor) a revolving restaurant with a view of the city was opened [1] .
