The tower will be complete with various shopping centres, food courts, a walk through museum, banquet halls and an observation deck. Sri Lanka Telecom is the independent operator responsible of transmissions. The structure will have two banquet halls accommodating 450 each on the third and the fourth floors. The revolving restaurant will be at 234.2 meters. There will also be suites for state guests on the seventh floor. Access to the tower will be through ticket basis thus incurring a steady income through visitors. Picture by Shirajiv Sirimane
