The Abercorn Residential Complex (ARC) comprises 474 apartments across six inter-linked buildings. Construction commenced in 2007 and completed in 2012 at a cost of c£70m.

The development consists of six curved blocks ranging in height from 6 to 12 stories, focused on a reformed Abercorn Basin. The architect, John Reid of Robinson McIlwaine Architects, designed a curved geometry for the development so each block becomes an ‘arc’ radiating from the centre of the basin.

Alongside 474 apartments the development also provides three levels of car parking (two levels underground and one at ground level – 500 spaces in total), private podium gardens at first floor level and ground floor commercial units overlooking Abercorn Basin.

Upon release in 2007 approximately 80% of the apartments were sold off plan.
