Greenbank Partnerships’ £200m residential scheme for the redevelopment of Cardiff Bay has been submitted for planning to Cardiff Council.
The Scott Brownrigg-designed Cardiff Pointe scheme includes 634 residential units, 235 of which will be two, three, four and five bed houses.
Two residential towers of 18 and 24 storeys to the north of the site will contain 216 one to three bed apartments.
A further 217 affordable housing units will be built on two adjacent sites.
Neil MacOmish of Scott Brownrigg said: “The design for the development is based on a European urban model, with street squares and public plazas offering bars, cafes and community facilities.
“It creates a substantial new part to the city and bay, bringing mix and vibrancy to a complete regeneration project. To have a waterfront site is a tremendous opportunity – to have a site that has two water frontages is unique.”
Jonathan Smith, development director for Greenbank Partnerships, said: “From the outset, our objective was to create a bespoke waterfront community using innovative design and sustainable building techniques, and really to give to Cardiff a quality of housing accommodation befitting a capital city. I believe we have achieved this objective, and I hope it raises the bar for future housing schemes in the city.”
