Maakri Kvartal, also known as Maakri Torn, is a skyscraper in Estonia. It is located in the Maakri district of Estonia's capital, Tallinn.[2]

The complex consists of seven buildings: a 30-story and 110-metre office tower, two new 10- and 4-story buildings and four architectural monuments dating back to the beginning of the 20th century.[4] The project was developed by Estonian businessman Olav Miil and cost 50 million euros.[5]

Architecture

Maakri Torn and the Art Nouveau buildings

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".[6]

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.[4] 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.[7]
