The project is part of the new city center of Shumen. The tower was built for analogue telephone centrals, and the other building was meant for hosting shops, a cinema and more. The underground levels provide parking space for 250 vehicles and also for trolley busses.

Construction never finished and was abandoned during the fall of communism on 10. november 1989. The brutalist appearance was not intended. The construction was meant to be cladded in a decorative facade, as some sections of it already are. So, this building is not more brutalist in design than any other unfinished building with a concrete skeleton inside. Currently for sale (last updated on February 11, 2025).
