In 2015, property developer Arthaland acquired the 8,440 m2 (90,800 sq ft) lot where the building would stand, located along Salinas Drive near Cebu IT Park, and construction started in 2018. Topped-out in 2020, it was completed in 2022. It is meant to host offices of businesses involved in the information technology and business process outsourcing industries.
