Former Barry Office Building Transformed into Vital New Homes
A former office building in Barry has been given a new lease of life, with the completion of Cadoxton House creating much-needed homes for single people at risk of homelessness.
Originally scheduled for completion in mid-August, the redevelopment was finished ahead of schedule.
The three-storey building has been transformed into modern, energy-efficient one-bedroom apartments, providing vital short-term accommodation.
Cadoxton House has been reimagined as a safe, secure and supportive environment where residents can begin to rebuild their lives while taking the next steps towards permanent housing.
The scheme is the latest example of the Council's wider housebuilding and regeneration programme, which also focuses on making the best possible use of existing buildings while increasing the supply of quality homes across the Vale of Glamorgan.
Cllr Sandra Perkes, Cabinet Member for Public Sector Housing and Tenant Engagement, said: "The completion of Cadoxton House is a fantastic achievement and another important step in our work to provide high-quality homes for those who need them most.
“At a time when many have been affected by a nationwide housing crisis, 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.”
By bringing vacant and underused properties back into productive use, the Council is not only helping to meet local housing need but is also supporting sustainable regeneration and creating stronger and more resilient communities.
