Description
This building dominates the surrounding area both through its height and architecture. Many buildings in the immediate area are older and more decorated. The rhythm of the high-rise building is determined by the four rows of loggias facing the square. The ground floor serves as retail space, the first to fifth floors were used for business premises. In an elitist manner, the sixth floor housed only one apartment. All upper floors are equipped with apartments.
A similar solution, that a highrise building dominates an area and underline the character of a big city is the Manderla building in Bratislava.

History
This dominant building at the end of the city's pedestrian zone called Korzo was built between 1939 and 1942. In the first years it was called palača Arbori or in Italian palazzo Arbori according to the developer's name. The devolopers and the architect tried to ensure that the building with a height of 53 metres could receive a building permit.
After this part of the city became part of Yugoslavia in 1945, a lettering for the country's president Tito was added to the last floor and a red star was placed on the roof. These symbols have been removed.
We don't know how high secular buildings were previously allowed to be built in Rijeka. From 1987 to 1989 the building's cladding was renewed.
