All apartments have been snapped up by residents at an exciting new multi-million-pound build-to-rent (BTR) development in Leicester within three months of being launched, property experts Centrick have announced.
The Saxons – dubbed Leicester’s most exciting and desirable new development – has proved to be a massive hit with residents looking for a stylish and peaceful home just moments away from the vibrant city core.
Centrick, which has been providing its market leading BTR solutions throughout both the build and launch of the development on behalf of developer and investor Oblix Living, said renters had been attracted to the development’s high quality spacious apartments, flexible amenities and its central location.
The Saxons is specially designed to cater to Leicester’s growing professional population, with state-of-the-art amenities, a skilled, friendly, and welcoming on-site team and contemporary apartments and excellent access to all that the city has to offer.
Comprising 100 spacious new one and two-bedroom homes, The Saxons apartments are flooded with light from large, wrap-around windows which give the interiors an airy and relaxing feel. Although the development is in one of the most central locations in the city, each home has been intelligently designed to offer privacy and a level of poise and sophistication that feels removed from the hustle and bustle outside.
Centrick BTR director Clare Johnson said: “When we launched this scheme we knew from the early response to the brand and amenities it would be very popular but to have secured 100% lease up across all apartments within three months is beyond our expectations and within record time for the BTR sector. It has been enormously exciting to be working alongside Oblix Living, watching The Saxons coming to life, and we are very pleased that people love what they see and want to make it their home.”
She added: “It is great to see the Oblix Living BTR vision come to fruition and to be able to share in the success of launching a high-quality scheme which focuses on residents and addresses their needs in so many ways.”
With the city’s largest shopping centre located just across the road, those living at The Saxons can not only enjoy all of the state-of-the-art on-site facilities, but also have easy access to a range of dining, entertainment, and retail options right on their doorstep. It has a residents’ gym and separate yoga lounge, a co-working hub and residents’ lounge as well as private parking with EV chargers also available. Residents will also have exclusive access to the courtyard gardens, bringing a sense of alfresco lifestyle to the development.
Centrick’s end-to-end BTR solutions are designed to support the rapidly growing build-to-rent (BTR) sector from consultancy and early planning through to operational management. It is the only truly end-to-end BTR solution for property developers and funds and is designed to simplify, support, and streamline BTR operations.
