Sky-high potential - 2004 - Inside Housing 21(48) 3 December 2004, 22-23(2) .
Looks at the use of tower blocks, traditionally seen as housing of last resort, as homes for first-time buyers. Focuses on the work of Manchester-based property developer Legendary Property Company (LPC), which originally purchased tower blocks with a view to capitalising on land values but instead refurbished them, let them out at cheap rents and achieved 100% occupancy. LPC is now looking to expand beyond its northwest England territory into the Midlands, Yorkshire, Scotland and London.
