In 1997, a revitalization of the electronics industry occurred at the Narva maantee, Jõe, Ahtri and Parda street intersection area, earning the building a cultural capital year award. Architect and heritage preservationist Henry Kuningas notes that the history of this area is closely tied to that of RET, or the Radio-Electronics Factory, a leading Estonian electronics company. Located in Tallinn’s city center at the corner of Narva maantee and Jõe street, the building features a striking facade covered in a mesh network.

It previously served as temporary space for the National Library and had housed several banks prior to that.
