Construction started in 1985 and the building was designated as a headquarters of Ceskoslovenský rozhlas (now Ceský rozhlas; a Czech public radio broadcaster). In 1993 the building was nearly completed, but appeared to be oversized for Ceský rozhlas (which split from Ceskoslovenský rozhlas after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia), and technically obsolete. The unfinished building was sold in 1999 to the company ECM for just 285 million CZK. After a long planning process and legislative planning steps the radical reconstruction of the building, designed by Richard Meier, started in 2005 and finished in 2008. On 20 December 2007 the building obtained final building approval. It has 109 m (358 ft) and 27 floors.
