The Tregunter Towers (Chinese: 地利根德閣) is a complex of three residential buildings located in Mid-levels on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. All three highrises, named Tregunter 1 (地利根德閣第一座), Tregunter 2 (地利根德閣第二座), and Tregunter 3 (地利根德閣第三座), were designed by Chung Wah Nan Architects Ltd and constructed by Hip Hing Construction Co. Ltd. Tregunter 1 and 2 were both completed in the year 1981 and both buildings have similar floor counts at 34 and 35 respectively.[3] The last building of the complex, Tregunter 3, was completed in 1993 or twelve years after Tregunters 1 and 2.[1][2] Tregunter 3 stands significantly taller than the first two buildings of the complex at 220 m (721 feet) with 66 stories.[3] The top floor of Tregunter 3 stands 327 m (1,073 ft) above sea level.[1] Upon its completion, Tregunter 3 was the world's tallest all-residential building, taking the title from the Lake Point Tower in Chicago.[4] Tregunter 3 held this distinction until the completion of Trump World Tower in 2001.[1][2]
