The attempts to develop Callaghan Square in Cardiff have finally reached the last stage with construction of a complex containing six office buildings getting an approval. The complex, which will be located on St. Mary Street, will also feature restaurants, shops and most importantly – parking areas. The whole development is very suitable for those companies looking for premises which cater for shared office space.

The buildings would consist of up to 12 storeys, and they are expected to fetch high prices, with the first building having already been sold for almost £10 million.

MPEC has been chosen to build the complex in an area covering around 160,00sq feet of land and the project would cost £160 million.

The project had received a go-ahead some time back but late adjustments had to be made and fresh approvals had to be sought to make the buildings higher and slimmer to ensure more space for a tower, which some of the councillors wanted to be constructed as a landmark.

The project will also require shifting a section of the Cardiff Bay railway. The railway operations might therefore suffer for some time, which could cause a lot of inconvenience to commuters. Moreover, a primary school is likely to be affected, but overall residents in the area have welcomed the project.

Roads are also being created as part of the project so that pedestrians or those on bikes can access the area with ease.
