The complex comprises two office buildings, one 17 floors, 85 m (279 ft) tall and the other 13 floors, 64 m (210 ft) with a total gross leasable area of 37,000 m² (400,000 sq ft).^[1] At completion the 85 m (279 ft) high building complex will be one of the tallest in Bucharest.^[2] The construction of the building started in October 2015 and was completed in the first quarter of 2019 at a total cost of €75 million.^[3]

The original project consisted of two 20 floor buildings covering 50,000 m² (540,000 sq ft) but eventually was modified to comprise the current 17 and 13 floor buildings linked together by a skybridge. The complex is directly linked to the nearby Grozăvești metro station by a tunnel specially built for the project.^[4]
