Regie, Bucharest

Regie is a student district in Sector 6 along the Dâmbovița River in Bucharest, where numerous dormitories serve the nearby Politehnica University. The area extends alongside this waterway and is characterized by academic infrastructure and residential buildings.

The area originated from a water mill established in 1848 and later housed a tobacco factory starting in 1864, with student housing construction beginning in 1961. This transformation mirrors how industrial sites were repurposed for educational needs.

The neighborhood is shaped by its proximity to Politehnica University and hosts numerous student-oriented facilities including the Regie stadium, tennis courts, and a rugby field. These sports venues are woven into daily life and often filled with university athletes and fans.

The area is well connected by public transportation with two metro stations (Grozăvești and Petrache Poenaru) and a student bus line 601 along Splaiul Independenței street. Visitors can easily navigate the main areas on foot or by regular bus services.

The former Spicul bread factory was built in 1948 on the site of the historical water mill and stood until its demolition in 2008. This industrial building served as a local landmark for decades before making way for residential developments.
