The building\u2019s design is complex and takes its inspiration from many different sources, including Leicester\u2019s manufacturing heritage and the desire to provide the opportunity for future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/winvic-leicester-build-to-rent\/49063\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">developments<\/a> towards the waterside.
