Wales
Working across Wales.
Partnering for the long term.
For nearly a decade, Wates Residential has been a trusted presence in Wales, working closely with local authorities and public sector partners to deliver complex urban regeneration aligned with national and local housing priorities.
Our work in Wales reflects a deep understanding of the Welsh policy and delivery landscape, including the priorities set by Welsh Government and local authorities around affordable housing, placemaking and sustainability.
Partners in placemaking
Through long standing, award winning partnerships such as Cardiff Living, we have helped shape new neighbourhoods across multiple sites, translating policy ambition into homes on the ground while delivering lasting investment in communities.
We bring extensive experience across low‑, mid‑ and high‑rise development, encompassing brownfield regeneration, estate renewal and the use of modern methods of construction.
Our Wales business is led by a locally embedded team of around 80 professionals based in Cardiff, supported by the scale, governance and financial resilience of a family owned national organisation.
As one of the only Tier 1 developer contractors operating across Wales, we are trusted to deliver through changing conditions, providing confidence on quality, pace and delivery.
Your local experts
Based from our Cardiff office, our regional team is deeply embedded in the region, with expertise across development, construction, commercial management, partnerships and sales.
This on-the-ground capability ensures continuity and a clear understanding of local priorities, enabling us to respond effectively to the needs of communities and stakeholders across Wales.
