I have it as around 100-101m. It looks like there's around 30 floors. On AVG a floor is about 3.3m high. I also put the floors into https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/height-calculator
And that was the result.

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?

Is this a completely new scheme or a reworking of the existing plan for a 9 story office block with 16 story hotel above?

Shame to lose the hotel element but will be good to see something built there, just Hope St now!

There must be faith in more BTR apartments being needed.

The drawing in the article doesn't give much away! https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/plans-400-apartment-revived-railway-30446933?int_source=nba

It's a replacement of it, JR Smart have sold the plot.

It is a shame about the hotel element though.

My guess for the size of it is around 30 floors, it would
be nice to see another tower cross that mark so fingers crossed.
