Customer need

PLATFORM_ aims to raise the bar for the sector, with residents benefitting from high-tech new build apartments alongside a wealth of facilities and a professionally managed service. The homes will incorporate the latest technology, such as smart metres, keyless entry and underfloor heating, as well as boasting a range of on-site amenities including residents’ lounges, rooftop terraces, gyms, car/ bicycle parking and served by an on-site concierge. PLATFORM_ aims to appeal to renters looking for the best of urban living, particularly young professionals.
