Húszemeletes, High-rise residential tower in Veszprém, Hungary

Húszemeletes is a 62-metre concrete residential tower on Kossuth Lajos sétálóutca in central Veszprém, completed in 1975 to plans by István Márton. It stands on a 5.2-metre-deep foundation and 16 reinforced-concrete columns, rising nineteen floors and holding 160 apartments. Warm-water fan heaters replace radiators, and a 120 m³ rooftop reservoir supplies drinking water from the tenth floor upward.

The tower was designed by Ybl Miklós Prize-winning architect István Márton after a public competition, and it was completed in 1975. It stands on a 5.2-metre-deep foundation carried by 16 reinforced concrete columns. The original plan called for 22 floors, but the authorities permitted only 19, and the finished building reaches 62 metres. By the 2000s its condition had deteriorated, and renovation was planned in consultation with the original architect.

Locals call the tower Húszemeletes, Hungarian for 'twenty-storey', even though it has nineteen floors. The nickname stuck from the original 22-floor design and is used as a shorthand for the building and its central location on Kossuth Lajos sétálóutca.

The tower stands on the Kossuth Lajos sétálóutca in the city centre, reachable on foot from the surrounding streets. Shops and restaurants occupy the mezzanine level. Because the city water pressure reaches only about halfway up, drinking water for floors ten and above comes from a 120 m³ tank on the roof.

The top floor originally housed the Panoráma Presszó bar, a gathering place with views across the city. Later this space was converted into a radio studio that broadcast programs to the surrounding area.
