New partnership with Urban Centric builds on Fresh’s existing co-living offer
We are pleased to announce we have been appointed by Urban Centric to mobilise and market Fitz & Knox, a new co-living development in Cardiff city centre that will deliver homes for the next generation of people looking for rental properties in the city.
The property, which is the first co-living scheme in Wales, is a conversion of a previous office block known as Knox Court, and represents a bold reimagining of urban living in the Welsh capital. The property reflects the growing nationwide demand for flexible, community-focused city living, and is part of a wider trend towards lifestyle-led rental options in key UK cities.
Located within close proximity to Queen Street Station in Cardiff city centre, Fitz & Knox will offer 208 studio apartments. The property will also include an exciting suite of amenities for residents, as an extension of their private living spaces designed to encourage community living. Specifically, amenities will include a cinema, games room, quiet working spaces, kitchen and dining areas, as well as a well-being and fitness studio spaces.
This latest appointment for Fresh follows its successful launch of the first co-living scheme outside of London.
Commenting on the appointment, Sam Scott, Managing Director at Fresh, said:
“We are delighted to have been appointed by Urban Centric to mobilise and manage Fitz & Knox, the first co-living development in Wales. Fresh has been at the forefront of the growing trend in community-focused city living and it’s with great excitement that we bring our learnings from the successful launch of the first co-living scheme outside London.
“Fitz & Knox is a great example of the type of vibrant schemes we’ operate. It will provide fun and entertaining spaces for residents with safe, healthy, community-based living placed at the heart of property”
Jennie Samuels, Property Director at Urban Centric, said:
“Fitz & Knox represents a new chapter in urban living for Cardiff, and we’re proud to be delivering Wales’s first co-living development. Partnering with Fresh was a natural choice — their experience and passion for community-led living align perfectly with our vision for the scheme. We believe Fitz & Knox will set a new benchmark for renting in the city, offering residents flexibility, connection, and a lifestyle-first approach to living."
