Tregunter Towers, Residential skyscraper in The Peak, Hong Kong.
Tregunter Towers is a three-tower residential complex on Tregunter Path in The Peak, Hong Kong. Tregunter 1 and 2, completed in 1981, have 34 and 33 floors; Tregunter 3, rebuilt in 1993, rises 66 floors to 220 m. A dark signboard at the entrance reads "Tregunter" above the Chinese name 地利根德閣, with a metal plaque showing 14 Tregunter Path.
Tower 3 was completed in 1993 and was at that time the tallest residential building in the world. It held that title until 2001, when Trump World Tower in New York surpassed it.
The name Tregunter comes from Tregunter Path, the road the complex is addressed on, as the metal plaque at the entrance shows with "14 Tregunter Path". The three towers share a clubhouse with a restaurant and function rooms, plus tennis and squash courts, a swimming pool and badminton, table tennis, basketball and weight-training facilities, all reserved for residents.
The complex is on a hillside and is most easily reached by the shuttle bus that runs directly to central parts of the city. Those arriving on foot should be prepared for steep paths leading up to the site.
The top floor of Tower 3 sits at around 327 meters above sea level, even though the building itself is shorter than that figure suggests. The difference comes from the elevation of The Peak itself, which already sits high above the city before the towers begin.
