The plan was two-fold. Phase One saw the building of 165,000 sqft of office space in three properties. Phase Two involved the erection of a purpose-built facility for the Open University. Close collaboration with multiple partners was key to success – from the Welsh Development Agency to the Welsh Design Commission.

The result is a new and flourishing urban environment with considered spaces that are all fully let. Impressive details include a masonry façade which is load-bearing yet was also cost-effective and simple to construct. The offices and Open University spill out into lively cafés and restaurants, creating an energetic atmosphere in which to do business.
