Jehu Project Services Limited has started work on a new £6.6m affordable eco-housing development on the SA1 Development.
The five-floor building will feature 69 spacious apartments with balconies and occupy a prime site overlooking The Prince of Wales Dock.
The scheme has been part funded by the Welsh Assembly Government as well as Coastal Housing, and the site was purchased from WAG in 2008.
The development has also been designed with the environment firmly in mind, and will meet the Code for Sustainable Home's 4 star rating.
The development will feature a ‘brown’ roof planted with local fauna and CO² emissions will be reduced by 44% thanks to energy saving technology in heating, lighting and hot water. The timber framing will also come from sustainable sources.
