What is Cardiff Waterside?
These are historic times for Wales, as the nation embarks on a new era of prosperity and influence. This remarkable resurgence is driven by the growth of Cardiff as a European centre of commerce and culture. Cardiff Waterside is at the heart of that growth.
Here, in this wonderful bay-side location, 460,000 sq ft of superb office space is encompassed in a collection of seven flexible, contemporary buildings, with planning consent for another 500,000 sq ft.
Already, Cardiff Waterside is home to major businesses such as HBOS, Arup and Regus, as well as the National Assembly for Wales and other institutions including the Welsh Office, Ofcom and the CBI. Since 2004, the entire site has been owned by two Norwich Union funds managed by Aviva Investors (formerly known as Morley Fund Management in the UK).
What draws such organisations to invest in these 14 acres at Cardiff Bay? Is it the motivated, well-educated population? The combination of thriving commercial centre and breathtaking country? The superb connections to the UK and Europe? It’s all of these – and more.
