Development Projects, Leisure, Eating, Drinking,
Nightlife, Shopping, Train Spotting! etc.. then we want it here!
I was starting to fear that the building would be going the way of Caspian Point and No.3 Assembly Square - namely taking 5-10 years to fill up.
I think a number of us on here were fearing the same - a great idea to build it but there have been no takers for one reason or another. It gives me a little bit of confidence that maybe hopes for a cluster of creative industries at that location can still work.
The thing with the design of the building is it's clearly meant to be one of a few/many so now that this one will be 80% let it would be good to see plans for the second being announced soon-ish.
That is good news. It really is shame the BBC didn't go to assembly square as we could have had the makings of a media village in the bay
I think it's going to turn out that way anyway. In the short term the BBC would have speeded things up. Longer term it may be no bad thing to have two clusters with a relatively small distance between them. It's certainly preferable to the way media comopanies have been scattered across the city in the past.
It is going to quite creative down there - a kind of Pontcanna ar y mor. Look forward to see what spin off benefits will come from this. I think a Spinnaker type tower on the land where the Tube used to be would be great.
ITV are now in 3 Assembly Square. Whilst they appear to have very small office space, they at least have a nice big corporate logo up in the entrance!
I don't know whether it's exclusively part of the ITV space (or a shared facility), but a large sweep of the space on the ground floor of the development has been given over to what is effectively a length of fitted kitchen units.
I hadn't anticipated a culinary 'centre of creativity' on the ground floor. Is it perhaps part of a cooking show that they make?
Its possible these kitchen units are something to do with the life science hub as biology labs have some commonality with fitted kitchens, fridges and all. But I doubt it as I thought the hub was all office space. Could be a lab tech demo space, but again i doubt it. Might just be a kitchen!
