Cardiff Living is an innovative development programme between Cardiff Council and Wates Residential. The 10 year development programme will deliver approximately 1,500 new energy efficient, sustainable homes on various sites across Cardiff and will be a mix of private and affordable housing.
Around 600 of the homes will be new council homes for rent and there will also be a number of properties available to buy through the Council’s Assisted Home Ownership Scheme. The properties will be sold through the scheme at 70% of open market value and the Council will retain the remaining 30% equity share.
The story so far...
Construction is progressing well on Phase 1, with 7 live developments and 1 now completed. 5 developments are due to complete in early 2020 with another 2 due to start in Spring 2020. Planning permission has also been approved on a further 4 sites on phases 2/3.
Over 130 properties have already been sold on the open market by Wates, with a very high percentage bought by local people.
To date, we have built 97 new Council homes and allocated a total of 9 properties via the Assisted Home Ownership Scheme on both Silvervale Park and Mount Pleasant Lane to first time buyers, with 7 homeowners completing their purchase since April 2019.
