Cardiff’s star turn

With the breath-taking views across Cardiff Bay and the buzz of vibrant city life, the Celestia apartments are in the prime location for those wanting to sample the best Cardiff has to offer.

How many of us dream of returning home from another hectic day at work to the sound of waves gently breaking, or the sight of boats bobbing up and down on a tranquil marina? A dream some of think is only achievable if we live in a remote coastal village – not in a thriving city like Cardiff.

But with the wonderful regeneration of the Bay and a new Redrow development that takes full advantage Cardiff’s beautiful waterfront and colourful city, that dream can now be realised by hundreds of homeowners.

Celestia – now in its final stages – is comprised of seven buildings, each named after a star. The apartments epitomise the glamorous, contemporary and luxurious lifestyles now open to Cardiff city-dwellers and focus on achieving the perfect balance between modern living and home comforts.

Bev Wookey, area sales manager for Redrow homes (South Wales), says: “We are delighted that Celestia is now reaching the final stages. When completed, it will feature 457 one and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses, in the heart of Cardiff Bay and within walking distance of the restaurants and shops in Mermaid Quay.

“We’ve got two beautiful show apartments designed to show people the lifestyle that’s awaiting them and the panoramic views of the Bay, Severn Estuary and/or city skyline from many of the remaining apartments are quite spectacular.”

The open-plan design of Redrow’s properties offers buyers contemporary style coupled with modern practicality, the sleek layout making it perfect for entertaining friends or colleagues, with the added ‘wow-factor’ of sights and sounds of the Bay.

With Cardiff’s iconic Wales Millennium Centre within walking distance, the Millennium Stadium within easy reach for sports fans, not to mention the wealth of shops, restaurants, health and fitness centres and museums in Cardiff – it is no wonder so many investors and owner occupiers alike have already snapped up lots of the luxury properties.

Every apartment at Celestia will boast a premium specification including wood flooring with walnut finish in the living/dining room, kitchen and hallway, limestone flooring and wall tiling to the bathroom/shower room and ceramic floor and wall tiling to en-suites.

Apartments currently available are one and two-bedroom properties each with single parking spaces starting at £169,995 and £186,995 respectively. Also currently available are two-bedroom penthouse apartments with double parking spaces, priced from £334,950.

A striking duplex show apartment by Redrow’s chosen interior design company, Connections in Design, has been influenced by the very latest trends from the catwalk, with a rich colour palette of cobalt blue with golds and deep mustards. A combination of black gloss and black mirror finish furniture heightens the home’s contemporary feel.
