A bright one-bedroom on the 15th floor, this modern open-plan flat offers straightforward, central living steps from Aldgate East station. At about 487 sq ft, the layout suits a single professional or investor seeking Zone 1 rental demand and easy access to multiple Tube lines.
The building provides useful communal benefits: 24-hour concierge and contemporary communal areas installed in a development completed between 2007–2011. The property is chain-free and comes with a long lease (circa 122 years), simplifying purchase and resale. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working or high-occupancy lettings.
Be clear about the costs and context: the annual service charge is high (around £4,000) with a ground rent of about £300, and heating runs via a community scheme. The apartment sits in an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high recorded crime and marked area deprivation—factors a buyer or landlord should weigh for safety, insurance, and tenant demand.
Overall, this is a compact, contemporary city flat that trades premium central convenience and building services against notable running costs and local social challenges. It will suit buyers who prioritise transport links and potential rental yield, and who accept ongoing service commitments and the realities of the surrounding area.
