The building, constructed between 1984 and 1987, was designed by architects Iuri Tumanian, A. Zalțman, and V. Iavorski. Initially conceived as an administrative facility to accommodate the Supreme Soviet of the Moldovan SSR, the structure was repurposed in the early 1990s, with minimal modifications, to serve as the seat of the Presidency of the Republic of Moldova.

During the protests of April 7, 2009, the Presidency of the Republic of Moldova building was vandalized by protesters. Repair works commenced in 2009 and, with intermittent interruptions, persisted until autumn 2018.

The construction is cast in reinforced concrete, adorned with white stone slabs, and features significant areas covered with tinted glass. The base and access stairs are crafted from red and black marble. Positioned above the central portal are the bronze coat of arms of the Republic of Moldova and the text “Presidency of the Republic of Moldova.”

The building of the Presidency of the Republic of Moldova is recognized as a monument of national significance.
