Further Information

The regeneration site had a complex planning history and consent for a scheme that was no longer viable. Bringing a large-scale Built to Rent model to Leicester was also an innovation.

The graduated towers sit over a podium that provides views across the river and city. Each room has large floor to ceiling windows. The dominant material is glass, with white rendering as a contrast.

The towers are gradually bigger to help integrate the scheme into its surroundings.
