The paper introduces a (universal) C*-algebra of continuous functions vanishing at infinity on the n-dimensional quantum complex space. To this end, the well-behaved Hilbert space representations of the defining relations are classified. Then these representations are realized by multiplication operators on an L2-space. The C*-algebra of continuous functions vanishing at infinity is defined by considering a *-algebra such that its classical counterpart separates the points of the n-dimensional complex space and by taking the operator norm closure of a universal representation of this algebra.
