WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
THIS PAGE??
Apologies
for the lack of activity on this page but
unfortunately it reflects a lack of activity
on the Cardiff development front! Still we've
had a busy decade so time for a breather and
to let developers renew confidence in the
city. The massive Saint Davids 2 development
is only weeks from completion and John Lewis
is open and very impressive. The better this
area of the city centre looks the more the
central square area screams out for attention,
maybe we'll be hearing plans for this area
soon. Otherwise all visitors to Cardiff arriving
via Cardiff central station I hope will 'take
a right' and not take the depressing trek
alongside marland (please flatten me and start
again) house!! I think that hopes for the
glass needle have all but gone so it would
be nice for something to actually be planned
for this site which was last purposefully
in use more than 10 years ago!! Also what's
happening to the replacement for the central
hotel? and the land where the Echo used to
be? It's all gone quiet regarding Havannah
Quay? Meanwhile demolition has finished
in preparation for Capital
Quarter so maybe we'll see some activity
there in the not too distant.
Down
in the sports village - my apologies the International
sports village!, we are awaiting details of
the replacement for the blue tent which is
the ice part of the exciting plans for this
area!! On a more positive note the canoe
and slalom centre is nearing completion
and the pedestrian bridge pont
y werin is well underway. The development
that excites the most is Bayscape
and we are hoping for some positive news on
this one in the near future. Bayscape is pure
quality and if it happens it will surely be
the development that kickstarts a boom for
this slightly forgotten peninsular, it will
also be the tallest structure in Wales bringing
the title back to Cardiff from our mates down
the m4 in Swansea who currently hold it!!
As for this page.. I like tall buildings (sad
but true) and whilst all developments in Cardiff
are of great interest to me as a proud citizen
of kairdiff!! it's the tall ones that interest
me enough to follow their progress on this
page - therefore until we get activity on
some building of any mentionable height this
page is on hold. However for all the latest
Cardiff development - rumours, gossip, plans,
dissapointments, opinions, opinions (no not
a mistake just a lot of opinions!!) then
please visit my forum here.
Cheers
for now, see you on the forum.. Paul-Cardiff
