After an international competition, the project was awarded to the Llewely Davies Company, and construction was inaugurated on August 19, 1975, with the Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the Mayor of capital Dr G. R. Nickpay burying a commemorative gold plaque.  There is also another background of building this tower, since the construction of the tower was started after the 1979 revolution.
