General Developments

2 key points from Russell goodway's statement to council this month:
Allium Lending Group, a new consumer finance organisation, is going to create a base in Cardiff, up to 100 new jobs

'Canal Quarter' - a new masterplan for the part of the centre that includes Guildford Crescent. Includes public recreation space and reopening parts of the dock feeder. Work in progress, report more in next few months

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but a new company was formed by the Rapport family last month called 'Canal Quarter Cardiff Ltd'

I'm intrigued to see how the master plan looks for this area, especially given the proposed road changes and with the controversy around Guildford Crescent.

Passing the site of the new premier inn on the train this morning and I see the pile drill has gone and there is a tower crane base on site.

This reminds me, where is the new Cardiff Airport express stop!? I need it for Saturday AM. Ha!

It's now stop JF on canal street, which is the one behind Cardiff Library/in front of the Marriot hotel. https://goo.gl/maps/2YPYHG565AJZVCBbA

It also stops out the back of central station where the bay car stops.

Looks like there is some activity at Park Place.

Ther's a lot of activity going on on the vacant plot next to 3,Assembly Square. The most likely explanation is that it's being used as a works compound for the Urdd Eisteddfod in a few weeks time but it might signal something more.

I can't remember any detailed planning for this plot, I might be wrong, so I think your Eisteddfod explanation is the most likely. However, it's about time something happened with the two last plots at Assembly Square. I think a hotel would work fairly well down there, particularly with an arena planned.

The car dealership on east Tyndall street has started to be knocked down. I would assume they wouldn’t knock it down now if they weren’t intending to then build the big student accommodation block, so I guess this is likely to go ahead. I did wonder if they wouldn’t proceed with this one, like Custom House Street
