Regency Tower e Royal Tower

History

The condominium was formed on 13 June 1988, the date on which the Receita Federal registers the opening of the CNPJ under the corporate name Condomínio Edifício Regency Tower / Royal Tower — the double name is official, not a registration error: the two buildings have always been a single condominium. Market records place delivery in 1987, and the municipality’s aerophotogrammetric survey already shows the two towers standing. The authorship of the project and the development are not documented in any public source and are therefore not attributed here.

• Concept: two towers, one family per floor in each, and the land treated as garden rather than podium.
• Curiosities: the building has two names because it has two bodies, and the market writes the pair every possible way — with a slash, with “and”, sometimes just half of it. Worth knowing: anyone advertising just “Royal Tower” or just “Regency Tower” is advertising the same address. Rua Jerônimo da Veiga concentrates a cluster of towers with English names — Lancaster Gardens at 197, Imperial Tower at 249, Noble Tower at 305 — and 177 Jerônimoi, much more recent, sits less than a block away.

Architecture and aesthetics

The decision that defines the complex is on the ground. On a 2,156 m² plot, the two towers rest on footprints of 261 m² and 246 m² — together, a little under a quarter of the land. The municipality records practically no podium: there is no continuous covered parking slab topped by a playground, which became the standard in the following decades. What is left over is free ground, and an estate agent who knows the condominium from the inside describes it as 1,706 m² of free ground-floor area with garden — a figure that matches the municipal survey. The towers are not twins in height: the survey measures one at about 59 metres and the other at about 66. With a single flat per floor in each block, the lift opens straight into the family’s hall and the layout occupies the whole floor plate, with openings on more than one face. The common areas and the façade went through a refurbishment, with painting carried out in 2023.

Location and surroundings

Points of interest · distances in metres

Itaim Bibi: the address

Rua Jerônimo da Veiga is one of the seams between two neighbourhoods that the market treats as one and the post office keeps apart: Itaim Bibii, of restaurants, offices and Faria Limai, and Jardim Europai, of houses and wide blocks, which is the official postcode neighbourhood for this number. Being on the border is the advantage. The street is short and residential, and even so number 225 is less than three hundred metres from Faria Limai and a step from Avenida Nove de Julhoi — the two arteries that connect this block to the rest of the city. The Faria Lima underground stationi serves the area, and Esporte Clube Pinheirosi and Iguatemii are a few minutes away by car. It’s an address that gained value without changing character: the recent verticalisation happened on the avenues, not on this block.
