The city has fast become a thriving, cosmopolitan city boasting a wealth of shops, nightlife and culture, leaving behind its industrial past to welcome in the best that modern living can offer. A growing population of over 280,000 has brought a real buzz to the place, fuelled by the huge investment enjoyed in recent years. This spirit of excitement could be why over 40,000 students have chosen Leicester s two universities as their seats of learning. Leicester is surrounded by pretty country villages and some of Britain s finest countryside, with the English National Forest, Belvoir castle and a diverse range of waterways just a short journey away. It s looking like one of the most desirable places to live in the UK. MORRIS

8 Morris: proud of what we build. As our Abbey Quarter development perfectly illustrates, we combine exceptional build quality with high specification and outstanding design in every property we build. We work to strict standards and carry out rigorous checks to make sure we meet your demands for excellence. Standards and checks we lay down in a Quality Management Log Book a working document that clarifies for everybody involved in the build, exactly what is expected of them. A representative of the NHBC (National House-Building Council) visits on a regular basis to inspect and assess. Our Sales Advisor is in constant contact with our Site Manager to keep up-todate with progress and pass that information on to buyers. We seek and act on the opinions of the most important people in the process: our customers. SUNDAY TIMES MORRIS

9 Abbey Quarter also exemplifies how selective we are about where we choose to build not only the location but how we develop the land. Wherever possible, we acquire sites with a mature feel. Where we can, we design around existing trees and features. We invest heavily to help our developments blend in with their surroundings, through the use of materials that are in keeping with the style and history of the locality. And by investing in Brownfield sites wherever possible, we can help regenerate and enhance both the developed and the natural aspects of the area. We are serious about the environment and our most recent recognition in this area is the Green Housebuilder of the year award.
