- Planning granted to convert upper floors to 33 residential units
- Large overall footprint: c.21,575 sq ft NIA (c.27,547 sq ft gross)
- Freehold tenure, central city‑centre location
- Excellent public transport links and very high footfall
- No private external amenity; limited service yard only
- Building shows wear; refurbishment and roof works likely required
- Located in a very deprived, very high crime ward (security implications)
A rare, large corner block in the heart of Cardiff city centre offering significant redevelopment potential. The four‑storey art‑deco building with Portland stone facades occupies a prominent dual frontage on Queen Street and Windsor Place, benefiting from extremely high pedestrian footfall, excellent public transport links and immediate proximity to central retail and professional services.
Planning consent has been granted to convert the upper floors into 33 residential units, making this a clear development opportunity for investors or developers seeking a central, freehold site. The upper parts enjoy triple aspect natural light and large floorplates which suit flexible layouts; overall internal area runs to c.21,575 sq ft NIA (c.27,547 sq ft gross).
Buyers should note central-city trade-offs: there is no private garden or substantial external amenity, and the building shows typical wear for its age (external elevation and roof plant visible). The location is within a very deprived, high-crime ward and sits in a multicultural student neighbourhood — factors that influence tenant mix, management approach and security considerations.
Ideal purchasers will be those who can manage an extensive refurbishment or conversion project, capitalise on the granted planning, and programme appropriate security and management measures for a busy pedestrian retail environment. The property is offered freehold at £2,950,000.
