Built To Rent Homes Launch In Cardiff City Centre
As the market for brand new homes purpose-built for the rental market, Build to Rent [https://www.whathouse.com/built-to-rent/] operator Fresh is launching Verse, a collection of modern new apartments and private amenities in Cardiff city centre.
The studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments at Verse are set within a striking new 15-storey building in the heart of the city, close to Cardiff’s two stations and busy shopping streets, and surrounded by an eclectic mix of bars, restaurants and leisure amenities. Popular shopping centre, St David’s Dewi Sant is a few minutes’ walk away.
The pet-friendly homes combine contemporary style and comfort with a range of all-inclusive, hotel-style residents’ social spaces. Subject to prior approval, residents can choose to paint and decorate their home to their own taste. In addition, an array of resident services are available at a small additional cost. Easily accessed via an app, a handyman service is on offer to support with DIY such as assembling flat pack furniture and painting, and an apartment cleaning service is also available.
Residents receive complimentary membership of the Belong Residents’ Club and benefit from amenities which include a large lounge includes a games area with a pool table and shuffleboard. A ‘state-of-the-art’ gym provides personal trainers, for an additional cost. For those who work from home, bright and modern co-working spaces feature superfast broadband, comfortable seating and booths for private working.
There’s a regular programme of social events including summer socials with drinks and live music, sushi making classes and book clubs. Residents also have exclusive discounts and special offers for local shops, bars and restaurants. An outdoor deck, complete with BBQ grill, is the perfect spot to relax with friends and neighbours. Residents can hire out social spaces for private events.
Eddie Kane, head of divisional operations (South) at Fresh, commented: “Attitudes towards renting are changing as more people – especially young professionals and downsizers – choose to rent rather than buy as a lifestyle decision. Residents have everything they need under one roof to work, play and relax, with fantastic amenities such as the gym and a busy calendar of social events. People are looking for high-quality, well-managed homes with convenient amenities and in great locations.”
Cardiff is a very popular place to rent a home, thanks to its diverse culture, thriving arts and music scene, picturesque waterfront and scenic landscapes. Verse is within walking distance of many of Cardiff’s famous landmarks, including the iconic Cardiff Bay waterfront, Cardiff Arms Park and the Principality Stadium. Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street stations, both a short walk away, offer direct services to Swansea, Bristol and London Paddington; trains reach Cardiff Airport in less than an hour.
Monthly rents start at £900 for a studio, £1,250 for a one-bedroom apartment and £1,750 for a two-bedroom apartment. The homes will be ready to move into in Summer 2023. Find out more at [email protected]
