The client is developer Cambrian Holst.
The student accommodation will be divided into two sections. The first will have 107 en-suite bedrooms, 40 studios and one disabled person’s bedroom. The other section will include 274 en-suite bedrooms, 117 studios and one flat.
Vinci will design and build the new station with three fire appliance bays and ancillary accommodation.
The two projects will run in tandem and will involve working in partnership with architect Morgan 2 Hayman and structural engineer Jubb Consulting.
Chris Pape, managing director of Vinci Construction UK Building Division - Midlands, South West, Wales and Retail, said: “This is another excellent opportunity for Vinci Construction UK to demonstrate their ability to produce work of the highest standard right in the heart of Cardiff. Both the student accommodation and the fire station will pose their own individual challenges which will require all of our expertise.”
