Rental luxury with added perks

Many of Birmingham’s most exclusive new city-centre apartments are Build to Rent developments. This means they’ve been built specifically for the rental sector, rather than to sell. Build to rent apartments typically come with various exclusive resident extras and perks. This makes the experience of living in them that little bit more luxurious.

Extras can include resident-only gyms, spa facilities, work spaces, communal lounges and roof terraces, and even private-hire cinema rooms. Building management teams really roll out the red carpet for residents, with services including 24hr concierge, dry cleaning and on-site maintenance teams. Meanwhile, the apartments themselves can come with stylish, contemporary fittings, free WiFi and private balconies, offering stunning city vistas.
