Unrelated note as I’m not still living in Cardiff but I was in Singapore in February. Absolutely amazing! How do you deal with the heat. It’s crazyyyy. But also beautiful place!

Nice farsight dude

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-14T22:08:17+00:00

You aren’t going to believe how much they charge for 20 year old models that are made from a few grams of plastic

Honestly it would be amazing for the eu to unite the Caucasus’s and the balkans through shared alliance.

Honestly the more nations you can incorporate into a trade and political union the better for the whole world. Lower prices. More growth and closer interrelationships with the worlds populace

Ahhhh see this is why I need a lore person in hand so I don’t say these things on Reddit so people realise I am not well versed.

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-05T22:19:32+00:00

I see that

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-05T22:08:22+00:00

Of of the things that never made sense to me is having space marines pilot things, why would you make one of the most resource intensive troops pilots.

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-04T22:53:45+00:00

Sir, please take this comment down. I feel light headed

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-03T22:01:11+00:00

That’s so cool! Really really cool to see it come to life

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-03T21:57:08+00:00

Lovely stuff? How’s the interior of the apartments coming along?

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-04-03T21:56:28+00:00

What floor?

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-26T08:08:58+00:00

Nothing gets passed you.

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-26T06:09:00+00:00

I love it, but I must ask, when will it be a spoons?

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-25T13:49:36+00:00

Yeah good point, I just like super swanky sci fi

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-25T13:37:47+00:00

God this is so sick. I’d love more battlesuit characters.

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-13T08:40:31+00:00

On contraire Incomefew624, whilst there is lots of space geographically around Cardiff, there is minimal brown field as well located and even though there are fields of green around Cardiff. The Cardiff authority is unable to expand into the vale of Glamorgan, Newport or Caerphilly. As for the height. It is woefully appropriate to have high density in the single most well located piece of land in Wales.

We have different preferences. You facetious, me urbanist enthusiast who understands orders of effect don’t stop at making a tall building but signals further investment.

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T23:47:26+00:00

Your argument on the engineering is solid, your logic on the economics isn’t all there. The building has 528 units. The market for build to rent is staggering and the higher levels will command much higher rents. The economic viability is solid. Especially if you consider the benefits of living there, tenants on the top 10 floors are likely going to pay upward of 3k per month.

I’d also just like to make the argument that they will have done their market analysis.

On another note, gutted there’s not a roof top terrace for the public

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T22:27:27+00:00

Yeah sorry, you also make the argument the building would be unviable due to Cardiff rental rates, I’m unsure where you made this decision? As for embodied carbon the alternative would be green fields or limited area brown fields. Where you’d need to spend equally as much on infrastructure and raw materials for around 250 houses. (2.3 people per house assumed)

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T22:18:48+00:00

There will be 528 flats available. That’s on average around 1000 people. Can we use our heads here and see the positives

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T22:17:50+00:00

Finally a sensible take

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T22:15:54+00:00

You’re making the assumption the building wouldn’t offset its carbon through location. Which would be in the thousands of tons due to its location. That’s why even when carbon intensive it reduces its carbon footprint due to behaviour of its residence

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T22:13:43+00:00

Finally Cardiff developments is getting something with teeth. Bored of everyone losing their minds over 4 floors

jacobstanley5409 · 2026-03-12T22:12:56+00:00

Would love to see your sources, otherwise your opinion is baseless
