Property specialist Centrick has been appointed to launch and operate an exciting new multi-million-pound build-to-rent (BTR) development in Leicester.
Centrick will provide its market leading BTR services, through its VICI platform, on behalf of developer and investor Oblix Living for its latest development.
The Saxons is Leicester’s most exciting and desirable new development, ideally located for residents looking for a stylish and peaceful escape just moments away from the vibrant city core.
Comprising 100 spacious one and two-bedroom homes, The Saxons apartments are flooded with light from large, wrap-around windows which give the interiors an airy and relaxing feel. Although the development is in one of the most central locations in the city, each home has been intelligently designed to offer privacy and a level of poise and sophistication that feels removed from the hustle and bustle outside.
With the city’s largest shopping centre located just across the road, those living at The Saxons can not only enjoy all of the state-of-the-art on-site facilities, but also have easy access to a range of dining, entertainment, and retail options right on their doorstep. It has a residents’ gym and separate yoga lounge, a co-working hub and residents’ lounge as well as private parking with EV chargers also available. Residents will also have exclusive access to the courtyard gardens, bringing a sense of alfresco lifestyle to the development.
VICI is Centrick’s platform aimed at supporting the rapidly growing build-to-rent (BTR) sector. It is the only truly end-to-end BTR solution for property developers and funds and is designed to simplify, support, and streamline BTR operations.
Centrick founder James Ackrill said:
“It is enormously exciting to be working alongside Oblix Living once again, watching The Saxons coming to life, and we are very pleased to be launching this scheme. Working with Oblix Living is always a pleasure. It is great to see their BTR vision come to fruition and to be able to share in the success of launching a high-quality scheme which focuses on the residents and addresses their needs in so many ways.”
Centrick BTR director Clare Johnson said:
“The Saxons is a fabulous boutique scheme, and we are looking forward to working alongside Oblix Living to deliver outstanding consulting, pre-launch, branding and of course operational BTR services which we have continued to grow over many years of experience and expertise in this key growth sector. With community-led technology and a dedicated residents’ experience team, we will work hand-in-hand with residents to create a thriving, sustainable community.”
