The range of housing is biased towards families & keyworkers. Singles would like larger room sizes, separate kitchen & dining options.

You’re assuming this is housing for families, what about single people, more 2-3 bed options with larger room sizes than in Epic are ideal.

Make the most of the view, if you can get a view by going up 1 floor do it (unlike Epic). E-Vehicle/E-Bike charging facilities inhouse & out
