Maakri Kvartal's 110-metre tower is built between four over 100-year-old Art Nouveau style buildings that are also official cultural heritage monuments. During the 20th century, the historic buildings housed Theodor Grünwald's leather and footwear factory, later named "Union".{{Cite web |date=29 April 2017 |title=Mitu pilvelõhkujat mahub Tallinna? |url=https://www.aripaev.ee/uudised/2017/04/29/mitu-pilvelohkujat-mahub-tallinna |access-date= |website=Äripäev |language=et}}

The street space is dominated by the renovated or restored Art Nouveau buildings, including the longest Art Nouveau façade in Tallinn designed by Baltic German architect Jacques Rosenbaum. Viewed from a distance, the combination of the 'new and old' gives an impression that the modern glass facade of the office tower is growing out of the historic sections.{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Maakri Quarter |url=https://arhitektuuripreemiad.ee/en/object/maakri-quarter/ |access-date= |website=Estonian Architecture Awards |language=en-US}}
