In 1997, a revitalization of the electronics industry occurred at the Narva maantee, Jõe, Ahtri and Parda street area between them, earning the architects the Culture Capital Year Award. Architect and heritage conservationist Henry Kuningas documented the history of this area, linked to the story of RET, or the Radio-Electronics Factory, one of Estonia’s leading electronics companies. A notable office building, featuring a mesh-covered facade, is located on the corner of Narva maantee and Jõe street.

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