It is near Telephone House on a plot between Rockingham Street, Wellington Street and Trafalgar Street.

When approved by the planning board in 2020, it was set to feature mainly ‘studio apartments’ - with bedroom, kitchen and living room in one space - and aimed at a mixture of students, post-graduates and young people.

Another block of flats, Kangaroo Works, is under construction at the corner of Rockingham Street and Wellington Street.

Last week, the council unveiled a plan for 20,000 new homes in the city centre.
