Custom House Street Tower (also known as Customhouse Street Tower) is a proposed 42-storey skyscraper in Cardiff, Wales.[3] The building was originally due to open in 2018, however, as of 2020 work has yet to begin.[3] The 433 ft (132 m) mixed-use development building will accommodate approximately 450 students and also retail units on the ground floor.[4] When completed it is envisaged that the tower will become the tallest building in Wales.[2][1][4] The tower is enclosed by Custom House Street to the north, Bute Street to the east, the South Wales Main Line to the south and Hope Street to the west.[1]
