The development will also provide indoor and outdoor amenity space, a public square, commercial space to the ground floor and extensive landscaping.
Located in the heart of the Dumballs Road regeneration zone, the £55m Build to Rent scheme will play a key role in delivering Cardiff Council’s Local Development Plan Strategy. Providing high-quality new homes as part of a mixed-use scheme on a vacant site in a highly sustainable, brownfield location.
The scheme also includes vital low carbon infrastructure, with electric vehicle charging points and solar panels contributing to sustainable development and helping Cardiff Council achieve its vision of becoming a carbon-neutral city by 2030.
Delivered over two phases, the development is scheduled to be completed in October 2024.
