The apartments will be the first loft style apartments in Croydon and will occupy an historic old building, which formerly served as a telephone exchange. High ceilings will be complimented by a high specification interior including top of the range appliances and fittings as standard.

The residential element will comprise just 66 apartments, of which a limited number only will be sold to investors, thus reducing the number available to rent.
