The purpose built 22-storey residential development contains 160 apartments, 5 ground floor offices and planning permission for a new 18-storey student accommodation tower and an additional 9 storeys on top of the existing tower.

Located on the east side of St Mary’s Gate the tower is in a prime location for young professionals and students due to its close proximity to bars, restaurants and nightclubs in the city centre. The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University are situated within half a mile of the tower.
