What is the environmental impact of Hive Central?

A Co-Living model creates functional communal living space beyond the individual apartments. Co-Living units are enhanced with communal amenity spaces and opportunity for informal meeting. The ground floor will actively anchor the co-living development and its community with the wider neighbourhood. Small retail units and workshop spaces connect through to a central courtyard for the wider community to share.

What type of living spaces
are on offer?

Choose from co-living apartments – either one-bed or two-bed spaces. Or if you’d like something larger, our duplex apartments are on the top floor.

Can I buy a living space?

The Hive offers rented space only.

Will there be residents’
car parking?

Hive is a lean-clean-green organisation and we take environmental issues, and your health and wellbeing, very seriously. So rather than car parking, we provide secure bike storage instead. Hive is well located for public transport too.

In terms of rental contracts, how does Hive differ from more traditional models?

Renting at Hive offers residents a better deal, and not just in value-for-money terms. Contracts are also shorter, if needed, to offer more flexibility without locking people in.

What about pandemic resistance?

Hive has been flexibly designed so that a pandemic can be effectively managed and contained. The workspaces, and our supporting tech, make ‘working from home’ an easy option, and an ideal place for hybrid working, i.e. split between home and office.
