Cardiff's sold-out Laundry Quarter development is almost complete, with all houses and apartments on the site to be occupied by the end of November. The site has been developed on what was previously a laundrette that served the Pontcanna area for over 160 years.
Seven out of the nine retail spaces have been filled, including a double unit by artisan baker Alex Gooch. Comprising of 34 homes, including 16 houses and 18 apartments, as well as the retail units, the development sold out months ahead of its completion date. There are now just two retail spaces left to fill. Based just off Romilly Crescent, Peter Reilly, director of developers Portabella, said that he wanted the development to feel part of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Permission was granted to re-develop the area in February 2020, however, due to the pandemic there was a six-moth delay in beginning construction. Mr Reilly previously said that this gave developers time to “fine-tune the details and get everything as good as everything can be.”
