Manhattan we are not! but...
There's no denying that the Cardiff skyline
has changed significantly over the last couple of decades and that trend
continues with a fair number of high-rise developments planned or underway.
This
is my flickr album showing our evolving skyline. As a matter of
interest my favourite view of our skyline is from Pembroke terrace on
the Penarth headland up by St Augustines church (latest
photos from here now in album following my visit on 19th Jan 2020).
Whilst even I accept we will never have a skyline to rival bigger cities,
our city centre is quite small and therefore even though the buildings
we have and those in the pipeline are not very tall, the fact that they
are contained in a compact area does make for an interesting skyline.
In my dreams!..
I would love to see a building
of 150m (so it actually qualifies as a skyscraper!) constructed in the
city centre with an observation platform or bar/restaurant at the top.
A mixed use tower perhaps offices/apartment/hotel I'm sure would be
a very welcome addition to our city centre. A centrepeice to the capital
city of Wales skyline, a welcome message to visitors that we are a forward
thinking city! The views on offer at this height would be superb in
every direction - To the North... upto the Brecon Beacons, (ok it would
have to be located so you can see up the Taff valley) to the South...
views over Cardiff bay, the Bristol channel and over to South West England,
and all above The castle, The Stadium, Civic centre, Bute Park and a
decent number of high rise buildings to make the views more interesting
when buildings lit at night! As a matter of interest I'm actually saving
up for the construction of this development - reckon I can get it done
for £100m so progress is slow, and to date I'm approx. £100m
from breaking ground! Ok
I did say in my dreams!! :)
The
Developments Map
The purpose of this map is to show all ongoing
developments in Cardiff city centre/Cardiff Bay, to provide a render
of the finished development, the planning application and photographic
development updates. Also proposed development in the city centre of
Cardiff. There are also links from existing structures and other sites
of interest. The map is ever evolving and I intend it to be THE place
on the internet with such information on Cardiff city developments and
construction projects and all on one page!
