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. The 17-story residential tower was listed as a protected monument on 14 July 2005.
The Résidence de la Cambre stands at 20, boulevard Général Jacques/Generaal Jacqueslaan, near the Place de l'Étoile/Sterrenplein in Ixelles. It is a short walk from La Cambre Abbey and the eastern shores of the Ixelles Ponds, a part of Brussels that is particularly rich in Art Deco architecture.
