More info on Customhouse st watkin jones tower https://youtu.be/iepf9Yo_HuY
By my calculation I'm thinking that this will be approx. 110m so a very welcome addition to our skyline and with grainger development at john St. and Harlech Court on Bute Terrace this area of city centre is going to be quite impressive at the Cardiff/Wales level hopefully in 3-4yrs time :)

Actually I've re-calculated :roll: and now believe the customhouse st. tower height to be more like 105metres- still anything over 100metres is a big plus to our skyline! :)

Cardiffbay wrote:The company behind the Copper Works build to rent are planning to build another build to rent on the vacant John Street site. Part of the development is to refurnish the railway archers into retail units. No mention of building height but says it will contain 400 hundred apartments. Based on copper works that has 307 over 22 floors guess this one could be a little bit taller?


Just found an article suggesting that this development will be 26 stories, I’m guessing around 85 meters

That looks really good, hopefully it actually happens, unlike the Queens West hotel plan.

It should be pretty straight forward. The building behind the original Art Deco facade is relatively modern (1990s or 2,000s, I think) so extending it upwards is probably fairly easy.
