The house was originally built by the Kuopio Merchants and Entrepreneurs Association (Kuopion kauppiaat ja yrittäjät ry) and was completed after long phases in 1988.[2][1] The shopping center, originally built as a department store, used the name Savon City, but after the bankruptcy in the early 1990s and the change of ownership. Today, the shopping center is owned by Keva, the public sector pension financial institution, like the adjacent IsoCee.[5]
