Ideal location. Range of coffee shops, cafes, supermarkets and local shops nearby as well as being a quick, flat walk into town. Close to some lovely pubs and green spaces. 5 mins walk from oldfield park train station, and also on a number of bus routes which is really helpful.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Management are really friendly and approachable, we never have any issues raising anything with them and they have always been incredibly helpful.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The staff here organise really great events for tenants such as summer parties, pub quiz nights and wine tasting etc. They are always doing lovely things like leaving bunches of lavender in reception for residents, or organising community dog walks.

Living in Corkfield Building for the past 16 months has been a genuinely pleasant experience overall. The local area has a great mix of shops, restaurants, and open_spaces, especially with Moseley, Kings Heath, and the city centre all within easy reach. There’s a good range of cafés and independent spots nearby, and most essentials are within walking distance. Transport links are convenient—regular buses, quick access to the city centre, and reliable routes even at peak times. The only downside is occasional congestion during rush hour, but that’s expected for Birmingham. My street itself is generally quiet and feels safe. Parking can be limited at busy times, but manageable. Bin collections are consistent, and I haven’t experienced notable anti‑social behaviour. Traffic noise is minimal for a city location, and the building’s insulation helps a lot. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well‑connected place to live with a nice balance of convenience and calm.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management (Alexandra Enea) has generally been responsive and professional. Whenever I’ve raised an issue, they’ve acknowledged it quickly and arranged a solution within a reasonable timeframe. Communication is clear, and even when things take a little longer during busy periods, I’ve still felt supported.

One thing I wish I’d known before moving into Corkfield Building is how much the day‑to‑day atmosphere changes depending on the time of year. During quieter months the building feels calm and spacious, but at peak move‑in periods it can get noticeably busier, especially around the lifts and communal areas. It’s not a problem, just something you only realise after living here for a while. I also didn’t fully appreciate how pet‑friendly the building is. As someone living with two giant dogs, it’s been a relief to discover how wide the corridors are, how reliable the lifts are, and how close the green spaces are for daily walks. It’s a great place for large pets, but that’s not obvious from a standard viewing. A final tip for new neighbours: get familiar with the parcel lockers early on. They’re incredibly convenient, but they fill up fast during busy seasons, so keeping an eye on delivery timings makes life easier.

It’s a vibrant and welcoming area, which was exactly what I was looking for in a new home. I also love how close it is to great amenities and the town centre, making everyday life both convenient and enjoyable.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management responded promptly to every issue I raised. There was a leak that led to some mould, and both were addressed quickly and professionally. I also experienced a problem with a pipe at a later stage, which was resolved promptly. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with how efficiently the management team has handled maintenance requests.

Nothing bad to say, some residents may say some bad things about the staff however this has not been true to my understanding. They are extremely helpful and they go out of their way a lot!

Location, location , location as they say ! Excellent all round . 2 minute walk to Cardiff central train station ( back entrance ) and a 5 min walk to the front entrance and bus interchange. I don’t drive so parking is not an issue for me, but just be mindful that space is limited although plenty of car parks around the area. The only time I hear the traffic is when my window is open but that’s not an issue on the 25th floor !

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The Gramercy Tower team are great. Luke and Isobel are always on hand to help out and take all comments on board and get any issues sorted out immediately

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

No issues with anything ! The place is quiet, no issue with neighbours. The views are amazing whether your on the roof top terrace or you are on a high floor like myself, floor to ceiling windows with plenty of light
