The residential buildings will reach storeys of 20 and 25 storeys and bring an additional 520 new homes to the city.

Current plans include 178 one-bed apartments, 286 two-bed apartments and 56 three-bed apartments on the site. There will also be a gym, cycle storage, roof garden and communal residential space.
