I'm referring to this from wales online
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/cardiff-tallest-buildings-development-construction-15978094
coupla points...
I really don't see the stadium masts as the height of the building, so it's not in the top 12? in my book - in the same way that stadium house is 78m and not 125m. Actually Cardiff's two tallest are I believe equal at around the 81metre mark ie bridge st, and zenith student accoms. No3 is the 'old favourite' of capital tower (80m) with 4 being stadium house at 78m (ignoring fancy bit on top!) joint 5th and 6th rad blu and altolusso both weighing in at 72m (take note walesonline), 7th is ty pont heaern at 63m and then ty admiral at I think 62m? in 8th spot. Finally the tried and tested holland house at 60m. OK that's only 9 coz they've gotta be at least 60m to get on my list!! and I'm not including old tax office as it's out of town and I'm not sure but quite likely to be flattened? So the article caught my eye as I thought a few errors might creep in like... zenith 75(ish)m bridge st. 85m rad blu 63m and also the comments!! oh god imagine being stuck in a lift with those that comment on wales on line!!!!
My top 9 will become 10 perhaps within the next 6-9 months with the addition of Premier Inn at customhouse st at 63m. Others are in the pipeline and it's looking likely that the first over 90m will be the resi tower at the interchange in 2-3yrs. Also you never know but the watkin-jones tower at customhouse st may re-emerge but surely not as student accom? anyway that 132.5m would reign for some time if built!!
