The development

This is Maker’s Yard: a 551 build-to-rent development that expands the city core outwards and is set to revitalise the area

The six-building project will facilitate 16.5K SF of vibrant street facing commercial units, amenities aplenty, and new pedestrian routes. It is being forward funded and will be operated by Get Living, the UK’s pioneer of large scale BTR neighbourhoods.

A fab selection of one, two & three-bedroom apartments will be on offer – 47 affordable – within buildings ranging from five, nine, 10, 11, 13 & 30-storeys.

Residents will have access to a 24-hour concierge, wellbeing hub(s), landscaped podium gardens, 608 cycle spaces, 44 vehicle spaces, a gym, co-working spaces, and a double-height reception and sky lounge.

Making the project accessible to all, a new pedestrian-friendly public square will be formulated to seamlessly link the site to the city centre & beyond.
