Not a big list really. What is required are new businesses or companies that are new to Wales and or Cardiff.
What other companies based in Cardiff that can move central?
L&G have been taken older office space around their existing offices, and we've had the odd forum member that has sources there saying they won't be taking new office space. BUT, even if that is the case, with the way they are expanding in the city it means older space is being swallowed up by them and other companies with similar strategies, which leaves less available space and forces other occupiers into taking up new offices I guess.
Deloitte have just announced more jobs, and may have a few hundred more lined up if the recent news story on them comes true, but like L&G they seem to be taking cheaper office space in the city. Again though, if that happens then it means less and less space left for others.
Network Rail already have space in a new office don't they, at Capital Quarter?
Whatever happened to those rumours of PwC jobs, did they go to another city or did it never happen?
What will be interesting is how the latest new offices about to open up at Capital Quarter fair. Number 3 is about to be finished and Number 4 is only a few month behind. I know it's cheaper than Central Square and probably what the Ledger building will be rent wise, but if it does let fairly quickly then the market is still pretty healthy demand wise. I can't see J R Smart starting at John Street unless there's quite a bit of demand, so that will be an indicator as well.
