THE DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION
Royal Arch Apartments form part of the iconic Mailbox development, widely regarded as one of Birmingham's premier residential and leisure addresses. Residents benefit from direct internal access to an extensive range of boutique retail, restaurants, cafés, bars and everyday conveniences, all located within the building itself. The canalside setting provides an attractive waterside environment while remaining firmly at the heart of the city.

The location is exceptionally well connected, with Birmingham New Street Station approximately five minutes away on foot, Grand Central and the Bullring reachable in around ten minutes, and Brindleyplace and the wider canal network just moments from the doorstep. This central position makes the apartment ideally suited to both owner-occupiers and those seeking a high-quality city base.

A real gas fireplace provides a striking architectural focal point, complemented by integrated media including a UHD 4K OLED television and Philips Hue smart lighting, allowing the ambience to be adjusted throughout the day and evening.

A particularly notable feature of the apartment is the separate dining room, enclosed with elegant sliding glass doors. This space offers a dedicated area for entertaining and formal dining, a rarity in modern city apartments, while maintaining a strong visual connection to the kitchen and living areas.

The kitchen has been finished to a high specification and incorporates a range of premium integrated appliances, including Miele, Bosch, Samsung, Ninja and Thermomix.
