We are talking double beds for maximum cozy vibes, triple wardrobes for those excessive shopping hauls at Highcross, and dedicated study zones with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer the best views in the 0116. It is bright, sophisticated, and undeniably top-tier.

Choosing this property means you are embracing a life of total connectivity. You have the riverside walks, the city’s best curry houses, and the electric energy of the West End right on your doorstep.

If you are ready to trade the basic life for a high-spec reality in Leicester’s most iconic skyscraper, you have officially found your home.
