New-Build Scheme

This scheme features a striking contemporary design, ranging from two to seven storeys and focuses on sustainability and local regeneration. It includes:
  • 81 Social Rented Apartments: A mix of 75 one-bedroom and 6 two-bedroom affordable homes.
  • Sustainable Energy: The building will utilise a “fabric first” approach with high-level insulation, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, and air-source heat pumps to reduce energy costs for residents.
  • Ground-Floor Commercial Space: Over 440sqm of retail/commercial floorspace across multiple units.
  • Resident Amenities: A first-floor communal roof garden, professional landscaping, and secure cycle storage to encourage active travel.
  • Public Realm Improvements: Widened footways and integrated sustainable drainage (SuDS) to enhance the local pedestrian environment.
Located just 1km from the city centre, this scheme prioritises active travel and high-quality landscaping, and provides much-needed, sustainable social housing for the heart of Cardiff.
