Designed for developer Argent, the 103 homes will be a combination of studios, and one, two and three bedroom apartments.
Conran and Partners, the architecture firm that recently converted Centre Point tower into housing, will be designing the interiors for 53 of the Cadence homes.

Small homes developer Pocket Living will be managing the other 60 units in the development, renting them out to local workers on middle incomes.
