Excellent design throughout the building, clearly a lot of thought has been put into every aspect to the apartments, from the ventilation system that keeps fresh air moving through the apartments, to the 24/7 digital parcel collection, bin store, and fantastic on-site facilities like the gym.

The gym is one of the best I have had in apartment buildings, including when I lived in Los Angeles

Modern state-of-the-art building taking over Glasgow. In our flat, we can see beautiful view and the attitude of the staff is super friendly, to whom you can report problems that are solved on time. We enjoy the high floor apartment. The shape of building is special. Also the safety of this building is nice.

Harry

Exciting living experience in Glasgow. I am really satisfied with the overall property management. Staff at the reception are always kind and willing to help with everything, even minor aspects. The design of my allocated flat is fascinating. Most time of the day we can enjoy the sunshine, and thanks to the soundproof wall, no noise during night.

Jay

The building is perfect, it has plenty of amenities such as gym, pool table, shuffleboard, co-working space, private dining areas. The facilities are superb. And the concierge team is top class. The building design is modern, compared to the rest of Glasgow’s skyline.

Santiago

The design of my one bedroom optimises the space in a way that makes it feel very open. All of the employees, especially Sara and Alyssa, are very friendly and helpful. The terrace is beautiful and the gym is well stocked. My couch and bed are both very comfy.
