Debreceni toronyház, Residential tower in Debrecen, Hungary.
The Debreceni toronyház is a residential tower in Debrecen standing at approximately 79 meters with 22 floors. The building contains 209 apartments along with ground-level commercial spaces and offices, served by four elevators.
The tower was completed in 1973 from a design by architect Boruzs Bernát and was built next to the main railway station at Petőfi Square. Its construction took place during a period when Debrecen was modernizing its urban infrastructure.
The building houses primarily compact apartments typical of mid-century urban living, reflecting the city's approach to residential planning of that era. The layout with eleven units per floor shows a practical design philosophy from when it was built.
Access to the building is provided by four elevators connecting the 22 floors effectively. The building sits directly near the railway station and tram terminus, making it easily accessible by public transport.
The crown of the tower features two technical floors housing telecommunications antennas that serve the city's wireless communication needs. This infrastructure makes the tower an important part of the local communications network beyond just residential use.
