The Marque is the tallest residential development in Cambridge, England. The building is nine storeys high and comprises 92 apartments . The three floor penthouse is the highest residence in the city and is 2697 square feet. It was priced at £1.3m, sold to a Chinese investor who immediately sold it on to a British buyer.

The building made the shortlist for the 2014 Carbuncle Cup for the ugliest building of the year. The nomination from a local resident includes the quote "The Marque is the ugliest of a number of medium-rise buildings which have sprung up near Cambridge railway station in recent years. Promoted as the tallest residential building in Cambridge, it is dominated by an angulated penthouse boasting-tower (the location of the hyphen is important) built of yellow brick and unfortunately only partially concealed by a bizarre and unattractive stuck-on ‘screen’ of off-white slabs with malaligned cut-out spaces."
