Raadiomaja (New Radio House), located in the Raua subdistrict, Kesklinn district, is a 10-story modernist landmark.
Designed by architects Jüri Jaama and Ado Eigi, the building is a protected cultural monument and a prime example of the International Style in Estonia.
It serves as the primary broadcasting hub for Estonian National Broadcasting (ERR), housing the editorial offices and high end acoustic studios for Vikerraadio, Raadio 2, Klassikaraadio, Raadio 4, and Raadio Tallinn.
The building underwent a significant €8 million technical and aesthetic renovation in 2014 by Fund Ehitus, which modernized its interior while preserving the iconic facade. Currently, a massive new development is underway directly behind the Radio House on the site of the old television studios (F.R. Kreutzwaldi 14). This project, the New ERR TV House, designed by Kadarik Tüür Arhitektid and built by Nordecon, will be a 6 story state of the art facility expected to be completed in 2026.
Historically, this specific construction site was the location of Tallinn's original 180 meter steel lattice TV mast, erected in 1955, https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=7978. This mast was the city's tallest structure until the 314 meter Tallinn TV Tower )https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=2629) was built in Pirita for the 1980 Olympics. Although the mast was dismantled in 1984, its massive 150 ton concrete foundations remained underground for decades until they were finally cleared using controlled explosions in March 2025 to make way for the new building's deep foundations.
