Bow Square celebrates the opening of its community facilities and garden
Bow Square is one of Southampton City Council’s VIP projects. The £60m project is being led by developer National Regional Property Group, with construction by PMC Construction. Already two phases of the development are complete, with hundreds of residents settled into their new homes.The third and final phase of the project is due to be handed over this month, unlocking the last 68 of the total 279 apartments.
The new development of apartments has been built exclusively for renters on the site of the old Fruit and Vegetable Market on the corner of Bernard Street and Queensway in Southampton City Centre. It’s the city’s first ever Build to Rent community and among the benefits are the many communal facilities available to residents.
As well as their apartments, residents at Bow Square have access to a 24-hour gym kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment and a large residents’ lounge complete with comfy sofas, a big screen screen TV and its own kitchen. There is also a meeting room, which residents can hire for business meetings if they work from home, and a communal garden complete with BBQs and a firepit.
“It’s the added extras like this, and the sense of community we’ve built, that have made Bow Square so popular. Renters are looking for much more than a roof over their heads these days and the extras we offer make a real difference.” commented Stephanie Smith, Atlas Residential.
“The community facilities have been proving really popular with residents and we’re thrilled to celebrate their official opening today. In too many cities across the UK people don’t get to know their neighbours but we’re really turning that on its head here at Bow Square. Facilities like the gym and communal lounge are bringing residents together and helping them make new friends.” commented Eric Linden, Director, Patrizia
“Bow Square is the first build to rent development in Southampton. The occupancy rate for these new properties is testimony to the need that there is for this type of offer in the residential sector. Residents don’t just get a home, they immediately become part of a community. Atlas provide a top end rental experience in a venue that offers premium lifestyle amenities, along with bespoke outdoor spaces, in a city centre location.”
