Best place to make your new home 🏠

Review Date Apr 2023

Development is recently constructed so no moles and nothing even team does inventory check in before handing over the apartment and if anything is faulty they do repairs and then give it to you.You would find everything perfect here. Thanks for wonderful place.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I would say it is the best place to stay in that to in City Center with all the amenities and to do socialize. Traffic noise is not even much but you can see a beautiful view outside balcony.

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

I wasn’t aware about the social practices followed so nicely. I was told that they arrange get to get hers which I thought it is just for sake of doing it but it was actually meant and followed.

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

I was responded to all the queries raised immediately. Mr Abu also helped on the day we came here for the stay. Mattress was missing so when informed Mr Kishore he Immediately arranged to get the new one.

Good facilities such as the gym. The flat is a nice, light and modern design and has great noise cancelling. Its nice to have the big balcony as well for fresh air. The 24 hour concierge is nice to have and the building management has been helpful so far.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Good location, 5 minute walk from New Street. Easy access to parking and for friends and family. Plenty of shops and bars within a quick walk.

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

How expensive the heating/water would be due to the electric fan radiators and the boiler.

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

Only raised one and they fixed it before I moved in

Great Value, Good Team

Overall this is a fantastic place to live. Paul, Kishor, Abs, and all of the team here are very friendly and really sort you out. The management side are brilliant, and any issues e.g. plumbing are sorted very quickly. The only small downside to this place is the lift, two lifts are not enough for this size of place, however that is the only short fall. This place is not cheap (£1000+ for a one bed) however given its location, how safe it is, as well as there’s a gym and wifi is included, it is very good value. Would recommend 🙂

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Good – very close to everything, stations, bars etc.

Bad – there can be some noise on the street at night, but only very occasionally and is to be expected living in the centre

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

I wish the gym was a little bit bigger, however it’s not bad given that it comes with the building. Wish the lifts were better!

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

Rapidly, I had an issue with my toilet and it was fixed the next day.

Great building to live in. The apartment is spacious with large closets which is rare these days. The building has a gym and common area which are all well looked after and clean. The team are also lovely, they’re always helpful and friendly. I also really like the activities they organise a few times each month. I met so many neighbours during these events!

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Amazing location in city centre, short distance walk to the high street. I rarely have to use any form of transportation to get around.

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

I’d recommend contacting the building months in advance of you planning to move since the apartments are always taken up quickly!

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

We haven’t run into any problems in the 15 months we’ve lived here. The management arrange regular check ups of our apartment & boilers.

There are regular social activities organized every month by the team & it’s a great way to meet your neighbours

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

Offering an attractive price, this centrally located gem near New Street Station places you in proximity to Birmingham’s top attractions—ICC, Centenary Square, library, canals, and Broad Street. Impeccably clean facilities, complemented by an exceptional apartment, create a delightful living experience. The staff, known for their warmth and friendliness, adds a welcoming touch to this exceptional residence.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience living in this apartment. The design is both modern and comfortable, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels like home.

Additionally, the amenities and common areas are well-maintained, contributing to a positive community atmosphere.

Overall, I find the apartment to be of high quality, offering a great blend of style and functionality. The attention to detail in both design and management has made it a pleasant place to call home. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and well-managed living space.
