Mitchian Grand Union is a high-end residential accommodation scheme of 69 one and two bedroom apartments in the Waterside development area of Leicester.

The project includes a ground floor retail unit under the five and six storey high building which is topped by a roof garden.

The development is on a significant route into the city and is alongside the Grand Union Canal plus it’s within easy walking distance of Highcross and the recently renovated former Great Central Railway Station.

Further Information

The project involved replacing existing Victorian buildings with a scheme designed to blend in with the character of the area and its environment.

The development is a modern take on the Victorian and early 20th Century factory aesthetic using a pared down traditional industrial design language.

Exposed building services feature throughout communal areas including a surface containment system in galvanised steel with integrated lighting and smoke detection to give an industrial feel.
