Its a crime that some factions get to live this well right from the start (and I wonder why Diamond runners arent given one of these to begin with). Posh is one of the first words that springs to mind. While its no bigger than the Plaza 1 apartment (and has the same layout), Via Rosso 1 has an elegance to it that Plaza 1 cant hope to match. The table has been moved into the centre of the main room, and the floor is polished to a reflective finish, however the most notable thing is the huge window with a sea view. Thanks to Mr Kot from the official forums for pointing out the change in number of cabinets.
Facilities: Gene Replicator, Go-Guardian,
Home Term, Recreation Unit, Cabinets (4)

Furnished) (when last verified)
Factions who start with this apartment: BioTech,
ProtoPharma & Tangent Tech.
Purchased from: I believe these are now only available
from the Diamond Real Estate Supply Manager
Notes: This appartment has a nice
sea view
When you first walk in you are in a very small room with two doors and it gives you the impression the apartment will be quite cramped. This certainly isnt the case though as it has plenty of room (would be great to hold a party in - see notes). Thanks to Bandit68 of Saturn for letting me look around.

Notes: This apartment also has
a music centre that you can hear within a certain distance, its lacking a Recreation
Unit though but it does have a huge bed (which unfortunately wont make you regenerate
any faster). It also has a massive bay window overlooking the sea (which Bandit68
tells me you can fall out of if you jump high enough).
The first thing you notice is the huge atrium when you walk in which has all the rooms off it and you cant help but go 'wow'. This aparment is certainly not short on tables and chairs (or open space for that matter) but I did feel kind of lost in it all being so big. Thanks to Brainbug of Saturn for letting me confirm that this is what a Level 3 Via Rosso apartment looks like.

Notes: We've already mentioned the huge atrium and
the vast amount of space, however, like its Level 2 brother it too is missing
a Recreation Unit (it also has the bed though) but it does not have the music
centre, nor does it have any views (unless you count the sky from the atrium).
As a final note I was very suprised that 'best' apartment in the whole game didnt have an Outfitter (especially considering that the Plaza 3 does)
Alamais of Uranus has confirmed that this is what a Tangent clan apartment looks like.
Alamais tells me the view from this apartment is amazing.
During my research I located this screenshot be of a BioTech clan apartment, thanks to Queerhawk for providing the screenshots and to Alamais of Uranus for confirmation. Additional thanks to Glok from the official forums for the NC2 verification.

Notes: Now some of
you may be thinking "Hey why does the BioTech clan apartment
look like the Plaza clan appartments and not like the Tangent
clan appartment shown above?" the answer is "I dont
know". If anyone can shed anymore info on this please let me
know.
According to CkVega from the official forums, the ProtoPharma clan apartment is identical to the Tangent clan appartment..

Purchased from: Protopharma
Supply Manager
Notes: If you've been keeping up
you'll now realise that, according to this guide, the Diamond,
Tangent and Protopharma apartments are all identical. Given that
the other 3 'city factions' appartments also appear to be
identical this does kind of make sense. The question this leave
us with is do the styles of these clan apartments cross over
between Plaza and Via Rosso or is this the 'Skycentre' problem.
