In the initial concept the apartment building used red cladding, which was quite popular for an apartment at the time. But in the 1990s, this apartment building was then left stalled for years.[2]
In 2004, a foreign developer bought an Adistana apartment and began to continue building this apartment.

The existing Adistana Apartments also become part of E-Square, where between Adistana and Mall E-Square is connected via a bridge. But after that it was left stalled again for years. As a result, the main tenant of E-Square, Carrefour, entered the Central Point mall, which is not far from E-Square.
