Résidence de la Cambre

The Résidence de la Cambre is the first high-rise building in Ixelles, Brussels (Belgium). It was built in 1938–1939 according to the plans of 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, was classified as a historical monument on 14 July 2005.[2] In April 2007, €740,000 were granted by the government of Brussels-Capital Region to renovate the facade and roof.[3]
