Urban Centric have acquired the former Legal & General Cardiff HQ Office in Cardiff Central. Their plans are to extend and repurpose the existing building into an EPC A rated “Co-Living” scheme. The development aims to deliver homes suitable for the next generation of people looking for high-quality but affordable rent in the city centre. Prioritising regulatory compliance, including building regulations, planning permissions, and change of use, is crucial. A thorough site assessment guides architects in designing energy-efficient spaces meeting EPC A rating standards. Rigorous budgeting, cost estimation, and construction management ensure a seamless transition from design to construction, with a focus on quality control, risk management, and stakeholder engagement throughout.
