Plans for 30-storey apartment scheme in the centre of Cardiff
Plans for a new skyscraper on top of where a popular Cardiff bar once stood has taken another step forward. Developers behind plans for the tower block at Harlech Court in the city centre lodged a planning application in December 2024.
A development to build on top of Harlech Court were first announced in 2021 with reports stating at the time that the structure would be 35 storeys high and Wales' tallest building. The plans submitted by Draycott Group show that their proposal is now for a building up to 30 storeys in height.
A design and access statement produced by CWA Architects on behalf of the developers states that the building will contribute "to the city centre's housing supply targets in a very sustainable location". It also states that the initial vision was to "deliver a proposal within the established tall building group" but also that "it needed to be fiscally deliverable".
