In 1997, a revitalization of the electronics industry occurred at the Narva maantee, Jõe, Ahtri and Parda street intersection area, earning the architecturally significant building a Cultural Capital Year Award. Architect and heritage preservationist Henry Kuningas documented the area’s history, closely tied to the story of RET – the Radio-Electronics Factory – one of Estonia’s leading electronics companies. The building, located on the corner of Narva maantee and Jõe street, 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.
