The building, which was built as an experimental sample, is under monument protection today.[3] On December 2, 1972, construction of the quarter began, the plan being to develop an area for almost 50,000 inhabitants. Populated since the early 1970s, it was officially completed on May 12, 1986.[4]

, is situated in the middle of the quarter.
