44 new council homes and improved connectivity move closer for Cardiff
We’ve celebrated a major milestone at Waungron Road in Cardiff, with the development officially reaching its highest point.
The topping out ceremony brought together representatives from Cardiff Council, Wates Residential and the wider project team to mark the progress made so far and recognise everyone helping to bring the development forward.
Working in partnership with Cardiff Council through the Cardiff Living programme, we’re transforming a former recycling centre site in Llandaff into 44 new council homes, alongside commercial space and a new transport interchange.
At the heart of the development are 44 one and two-bedroom council homes that will help meet growing demand for affordable housing in Cardiff. Designed to be energy-efficient and affordable to run, the homes will incorporate ground source heat pumps and solar photovoltaic panels, helping to reduce carbon emissions and lower energy costs for future residents.
Located next to Waun Gron Park railway station, the development will also improve connections across west Cardiff, bringing together new homes, public transport and infrastructure in one place. Supported by Welsh Government Social Housing Grant funding, the scheme will create lasting benefits for local people and the wider community.
Today’s topping out ceremony is an important moment for a development that will provide much-needed affordable homes while helping to build a greener and more sustainable Cardiff.
“These high-quality council homes will give residents access to secure, energy-efficient accommodation that is designed for the future, while also helping us meet growing demand for affordable housing across the city.
“Waungron Road demonstrates our commitment to delivering not just new homes, but well-designed, well-connected communities.”
