Plans to transform former offices in Cardiff Bay into over 100 apartments have been given the go ahead.
Rightacres put forward their scheme to change the use of the Scott Harbour buildings on Pierhead Street last year.
The phased project will see the empty office building turned into 101 apartments - it will also eventually include a gym, commercial unit and a co-working office.
Recent images of the Scott Harbour offices show scaffolding erected at the back of the building and construction vehicles operating nearby.
Cardiff Council published a notice of its approval last Friday
Last year, Rightacres said in a planning statement that the Scott Harbour project provides an opportunity to “re-invigorate a vacant office building that is demonstrating no market interest into much needed residential accommodation”.
The statement goes on to add that future residents will be “well serviced” with private and communal amenity spaces, cafes and an “excellent aspect on to Cardiff Bay”.
Land Registry documents show Scott Harbour was sold to Rightacres in January for £4.5 million.
The project will add to Rightacres growing portfolio of developments in Cardiff city centre, which includes the new BBC Cymru Wales headquarters, the new HMRC building and number one and two Central Square.
Rightacres is also behind the Central Quay development which will see the former Brains brewery site turned into 700 apartments and commercial floorspace.
The 101 apartments, to be spread across the first and fourth levels of the building, will comprise of 72 one-bedroom apartments, 22 two-bedroom apartments and seven three-bedroom apartments.
A Cardiff Council planning report shows that ten apartments will have access to private balconies and 36 will be serviced apartments.
The exisiting Scott Harbour site comprises Emperor House, Terra Nova House, Alexander House and Discovery House. It was built in 1997.
Most of the changes to the building are being made internally. However, there will be some alterations to the building’s facade, including recladding work, panelling and glazing.
There will also be a new entrance created on Bute Place.
The existing underground car park which is accessible from Falcon Drive will be retained to provide 116 car parking spaces. On the basement level, there will be also 134 cycle parking spaces.
