Former Barry office block converted into new homes for people at risk of homelessness

A disused office building in Barry has been transformed into modern accommodation for people facing homelessness, after redevelopment work at Cadoxton House was completed ahead of schedule.

The three‑storey building has been converted into energy‑efficient one‑bedroom apartments designed to provide short‑term, supported housing for single people who need a safe place to rebuild their lives and move towards permanent accommodation.

The project is part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s wider housebuilding and regeneration programme, which aims to increase the supply of good‑quality homes while making better use of vacant or underused buildings across the county.

Cllr Sandra Perkes, Cabinet Member for Public Sector Housing and Tenant Engagement, said the completion of Cadoxton House marks “another important step” in supporting residents affected by the national housing crisis.

She said: “We have worked at pace to transform this former office block into modern and sustainable accommodation that offers a safe and supportive place where people can take steps towards stability and more permanent housing. I look forward to seeing the positive difference Cadoxton House will make as its new occupants begin the next chapter of their lives.”

The Council says bringing empty buildings back into use not only helps meet local housing need but also supports sustainable regeneration and strengthens communities across the Vale.
