Located just next to Chinatown, this area offers a fantastic selection of delicious food options. In addition to the vibrant dining scene, it's only a 3-minute walk to an indoor market where you can find fresh seafood, meats, and a variety of other local products. Just a bit further, about 5 minutes away, you'll find Marks & Spencer, a well-known high-quality food store, perfect for those seeking premium groceries. With such convenience and variety, this area provides everything you need for a delightful culinary experience and easy access to fresh ingredients.

An additional surprise I discovered after moving in is that some rooms on the ground floor come with outdoor patios, which I wasn't aware of before my move. This feature is a fantastic bonus, offering a private outdoor space that adds great value to the living experience.

Excellent location for transport connectivity - bus , train... even airport is 15-25 min away. Lots of options for eating including the exhaustive option of china town. High street, bull ring and colmore financial district all in walking distance

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

If there is one aspect of the building that I could give top rating without any caveats or hesitation, it would be the building management team. Right from a welcoming front desk to the management team, everyone does everything in their gift to address any issue I have raised ( of which there haven't been many as well.. which probably also shows that they are on top of things in general) Special shout out to Jodie for all the support and Sajina for the daily blackboard updates riddle/joke (genuinely a nice thing bringing a smile or make you think on the way up in the lift)

(have to say through my own fault) didn't realise there is limited parking and no "guest" parking. But obviously lot of paid car park options around, so no harm done.

We LOVE it here. Located so centrally, it's around a 7min walk to New St Station, and a 10min walk to Moor St Station and the city centre. Chinatown is just across the road and Digbeth is about 10mins away too. This means there are loads of places to go out without the need to get a taxi back, the shops are close by if you need anything, and it goes without saying that there are so many places to eat and so many things to do - we feel totally spoilt! We have parking underneath the development which is charged monthly, so we have a car here for longer journeys. With the station so close, and buses and tram options in the city, there are lots of transport options available. Because we're on the 9th floor we have a lovely view and it's quieter too, as you can't hear all the noise from below (apart from Fri and Sat nights, but this is minimal as soon as you close the windows).

We had an issue with the bathroom and it was sorted within 2-3 days, really quickly!

We had good vibes from the viewing and it's been everything we wanted and more since moving in.
