ICKNIELD SQUARE
Icknield Square is a canalside community set to introduce 234 one-, two-, and three-bed build-to-rent homes across several interlinked new builds.
Reconnecting the derelict site with the city with a sustainable and green destination, builds of between four and 10 storeys will be delivered across three plots, each one designed in a modern industrial aesthetic whilst displaying low carbon principles.
88 one, 132 two, and 14 three-bedroom homes (2-5 persons) will be on offer – 10% affordable – complemented by a unique amenity offering.
This will see a brand new public realm & an ‘Icknield Wharf’ public square, providing unrestricted access to the canal towpath. There will also be a 196 sqm commercial unit (Class E), bringing added vitality to the site.
Residents will also benefit from two courtyards with canalside seating and terraced areas.
Further championing sustainability, 270 cycle (inc. 27 visitors) spaces, and 14 undercroft spaces for vehicles, each one fitted with EV charging points, will be available.
