Plans put forward for 25-storey student accommodation in Cardiff

Plans for building a new 25-storey development in Cardiff which could provide accommodation for almost 700 students have been submitted to the local authority, a news report has been able to suggest.

The developers have earmarked a vacant site adjacent to Herbert Street and the Dock Feeder canal in the city’s Capital Quarter for the building which will include a laundry, study rooms and offices for support staff as well as 8,900 sq ft of high-end amenities including a student gym, dinner party rooms and a cinema.

Ground floor commercial space suitable for restaurant or café use will also be provided.

Michael Lampard, group design director, Corstorphine + Wright, the architecture practice that submitted the plans on behalf of Fusion Students, said: "Cardiff’s Capital Quarter has already undergone a huge transformation, and this development will make a significant contribution to the overall vision.

"As identified in the Masterplan for the area, there is a need to provide a real mix of uses that are integrated across the Quarter. While the site already has permission for residential units, we feel that the inclusion of this new student accommodation will help deliver a buzz and bring energy, diversity and vibrancy to the area both day and night."

Time & Attendance – Wales can help any residential developer turn staff management into a much easier and more streamlined process. The platform supplies an extensive level of functionality, from simple clocking when arriving on site to complex operations, such as specific job costings and export to payroll features.

Additionally, we supply a very versatile access control solution for companies actively involved in the construction segment. Construction workers and other people who hold a CSCS card can use their existing card to clock onto a Time & Attendance system and/or gain access to a construction site or similar, or use the CSCS card to gain access through turnstiles or car park barriers.
