Plans to build a 674-bed student accommodation block on vacant land in Cardiff have been given the go-ahead.
The development on Herbert Street, near Atlantic Wharf, will feature a 25 storey tower and include study rooms, "dinner party rooms", a cinema and a "sky bar".
It was given approval by Cardiff councillors on Wednesday subject to conditions being met.
The council report noted the land had been vacant for about 20 years.
