The building is 80 metres (260 ft) tall when measured up to the roof, and 97 m (318 ft) tall overall. It has 20 floors, and of its floor area of 12,640 m² (136,100 sq ft), approximately 10,000 m² (110,000 sq ft) is dedicated to office space, whereas 300 m² (3,200 sq ft) is used for other commercial space, i.e. shops and other services.^[1]

Construction of the building (previously known as Navimor and Prorem) started in 1975 and concluded in 1980. It was renovated from 1998 to 2000.^[1] With a height of 80 metres (260 ft), it was the tallest building in Gdańsk before it was surpassed by Centrum Biurowe Neptun in 2014.^[2] In March 1981, a man named Radek Cieśluk successfully jumped from the building with a hang glider.^[3]

A proposal was put forward in 2013 to construct a building on Organika Trade's site at a height of 200 metres (660 ft), but was ultimately rejected in 2015.^[4] The skyscraper stands to this day, and a nearby apartment building development was put up there instead.^[5]
