The Tower, St James Church, Newport Road, City Centre, Cardiff

An Architectural Landmark Reimagined - Rising proudly above the city skyline, St James Tower stands as one of Cardiff’s most iconic and imaginative conversions a magnificent seven-storey residence carved from the historic Church of St James the Great, first completed in 1894. Lovingly restored and sensitively redeveloped by the current custodians, this remarkable home represents the perfect marriage of Victorian grandeur and modern design. From its soaring stone arches and ornate columns to the vibrant hues of its original stained glass windows, every level of this tower tells the story of over a century of craftsmanship, character and devotion.

Once a place of worship, now a bespoke private residence, St James Tower offers an extraordinary lifestyle set across seven distinct floors each with its own sense of drama and perspective. Inside, the layout flows gracefully through a collection of beautifully curated spaces including:

The design retains the soul of the original architecture while introducing the comforts expected of contemporary living discreetly integrated modern amenities, bespoke finishes, and carefully restored heritage details throughout.

Standing within the walls of a 131-year-old landmark, this home offers not just a place to live, but a rare opportunity to own a piece of Cardiff’s story. The wider church site has been thoughtfully transformed into 16 exclusive apartments, with the Tower taking pride of place an unrepeatable statement of history, design, and imagination.

Located along Newport Road, moments from Cardiff city centre and its wealth of amenities, St James Tower combines urban convenience with monumental architecture a true one-of-a-kind home that must be seen to be believed.

Arguablly one of the most unique conversions in the UK. The imagination behind such a brilliantly bonkers space is one to marvel at, as well as feel inspired. We feel extremely fortunate to be able to bring this to the open market finally.

We had a vision to create something truely unique and something that would last. We ensured across the development that there would be no compromise on, materials, detail or design and that we wanted to create an elegant quality finish across all apartments. The Tower is the stand out of them all and we feel will be an incredible place to live and stay.
