Résidence de la Cambre

The Résidence de la Cambre is the first high-rise building constructed in Brussels, Belgium. It was built in 1938–39, according to the plans of the architect Marcel Peeters, in a style inspired by New York Art Deco architecture.[1] The 17-story residential tower, which stands at 20, Boulevard Général Jacques/Generaal Jacqueslaan, near the Place de l'Étoile/Sterrenplein in Ixelles, was listed as a protected monument on 14 July 2005.[2][3] In April 2007, €740,000 were granted by the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region to renovate the facade and roof.[4]
