Where is the demand coming from for all this student accommodation? I thought student numbers had flatlined?
Is the University behind this? It could be a smart business move to provide more accommodation for students and get them out of the rental market with plenty a dodgy landlord. I've had my doubts about some student flats - 20 storey buildings in the centre of town? - but this looks more appropriate. Presumably if students are moving into these kind of developments then there is space or more families to be housed in Cathays.
