5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Great location and reception team
Lovely reception staff who are friendly and super helpful. Timely refurbishments of facilities eg paintwork, coworking areas etc. Maintenance repairs attended to when raised. Overall happy with my experience as a 1+ years tenant. Only thing I would recommend is a pool - especially for when it gets hot during summer

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Great experience at Clipper’s Quay
We lived at Clippers Quay for almost 3 years and had a great experience hence we renewed our tenancy several times. Flats are a great standard and the team are super responsive to maintenance requests. Facilitates such as the gym are a great plus! Would highly recommend to friends & family
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location is great with a few tram stops only a short walk away so we had an easy and quick commute into work. The nearby Co-op is handy and supermarkets are a short walk.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The team are super responsive to maintenance requests and resolve any issues within a few days.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Only have positive experiences about our time at Clipper’s Quay and after reading over reviews I was nervous about our deposit being returned, however the team were very fair and returned the deposit to us very quickly after moving out.

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. A Fantastic Development with a Five-Star Team!
Having lived at Clipper Quay for three years now, I can confidently say it is a fantastic place to call home. The overall design of the development is excellent. The flats are built to a very high quality, with modern finishes and layout choices that make the space feel both stylish and comfortable. The onsite facilities are fantastic and add massive value to the living experience here, making it feel like a true community rather than just an apartment block. While the physical aspects of the building are great, the absolute best part of living here—and the main reason I choose to stay year after year—is the incredible reception and management team. 1) Leila is the absolute star of Clipper Quay. She is incredibly professional; whenever I have trouble with my flat or any general questions, she resolves everything seamlessly and always with a lovely smile. 2) Queenie deserves a massive amount of credit as well. She helped me immensely with the check-in process during my recent internal move, constantly going above and beyond all expectations to make sure everything went smoothly. We are so glad to have her on the team. 3) Darren does a wonderful job leading this team. Thanks to his leadership, the management here is top-tier, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The staff's dedication and warm service are the primary reasons I love living at Clipper Quay. Happy Living!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There are plenty of quality shops and restaurants nearby, making the area very convenient. The public transport is excellent, with easy access to both buses and trams. Living here is generally great, though there is sometimes some traffic noise at night, but it is totally acceptable for city living. The open spaces are lovely, and if any BBQ facilities were provided in the future, it would definitely be a bonus!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team has been incredibly responsive. Whenever I raise an issue, Darren and his team handle it quickly. Leila ensures flat problems are resolved seamlessly and professionally, while Queenie goes entirely above and beyond to sort out any moving or check-in issues smoothly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing that is helpful to know before moving in is how seamless internal moves can be within the development. If you ever need to upgrade or change flats, the process is incredibly smooth thanks to Queenie and the team going above and beyond to assist with the transition. Also, while the vibrant location means you might experience a bit of typical city traffic noise at night, it is completely manageable. The unbeatable convenience of having excellent tram and bus links right on your doorstep, alongside a top-tier reception team like Leila and Darren, easily outweighs any minor city noise!

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Professional and responsive building management
I have lived in the building for about five years and overall it has been a good place to live. The building is generally well maintained and communal areas are kept clean. From time to time there are the usual issues that come with any large residential building, though they tend to get resolved. Overall it has been a comfortable building to live in over the years.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great location, coop on site, exchange quay tram stop just across the road, easy and quick to get into town.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any concerns raised within my flat have been dealt with and resolved
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Residents services team really helpful for any issues within the flat.
