🚧 Exciting news for Cardiff! A 33-storey skyscraper is set to rise in the city centre, transforming the skyline in a big way. This towering co-living space will house 400 units, mostly aimed at young professionals looking for a vibrant community vibe. Located right by the Golden Cross pub on Custom House Street, it’s a prime spot for urban living.
🏢 Designed by the Watkin Jones Group, this building will feature shared living areas, private ensuite bedrooms, terraces, a gym, and more, creating a hub for social interaction and collaboration. 👫✨ Who wouldn’t love a space that promises both privacy and community?
🌳 With its ‘deep green’ design, councillors are loving the look of the building, even comparing it favourably to previous proposals for the site. There are, however, some concerns over the limited cycle storage, with only 241 spaces offered. 🚴 As cycling becomes more popular, many believe we need more secure bike spaces to truly promote sustainable transport in the city.
The development is a key part of Cardiff’s regeneration goals, promising to use this long-vacant site for much-needed high-density residential accommodation. It’s an exciting step forward for the city, bringing fresh energy to the centre. 🌆
