The history of the area between Narva, Maantee, Jõe, Ahtri and the current Parda Street is closely linked to that of RET, or the Eesti Raadio-Elektroonika Tehased (Radio-Electronics Factory), one of Estonia’s leading electronics manufacturers. Architect and heritage conservationist Henry Kuningas writes that the development occurred in 1997 and earned the building a cultural capital year award. Located in Tallinn’s city center on 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 before.
