Offices to be turned into family homes
Western Mail
|June 18, 2025
A FORMER prime office building in Cardiff Bay is being transformed to provide much-needed new council homes.
The 90,000 sq ft Scott Harbour building has been acquired by Cardiff council from property development firm Rightacres.
In a £28.5m investment, Cardiff council will complete work to provide 78 apartments as permanent tenancies.
The apartments will mainly be occupied by families as part of its strategy of addressing a critical shortage of affordable homes.
In a £25m investment, Rightacres had intended to turn Scott Harbour into a build-to-rent and service apartment scheme.
The council will take possession of the building, with 33 apartments completed, later this week. Work on the remaining homes is scheduled for completion by the end of the year.
