Summary:
- Watkin Jones has secured a resolution to grant planning permission for a 33-storey co-living scheme on Custom House Street, Cardiff, pending a Section 106 agreement, with formal approval expected by late summer.
- The project replaces a stalled 42-storey student accommodation tower approved in 2016, adapting to market shifts by offering 400 fully-furnished co-living studios with shared amenities for young professionals and smaller households.
- This development expands Watkin Jones’s Cardiff portfolio, following the recent near-completion of phase one at its Central Quay scheme, Tai Afon, reinforcing its presence in the city’s managed rental sector.
