There's not a lot in it other than guessing based on the fact that some news seems to be coming regarding the arena location, but what is interesting is Sion Barry suggests that Central Quay is now the preferred site for the Cardiff Met new campus.
I'd love to see this site having some firm plans, is anyone in the know on anything? It always seems to be in the mix for potential projects and always loses out. I guess it isn't helped by the two main developers in the city J R Smart and Rightacres concentrating on expanding outwards from what has been their main projects over the last few years, with Rightacres moving just south of Central Square with the Central Quay project and J R Smart moving slightly further west with the John Street project.
I'm sure this site will at some point get used, but it feels like it could be a while at the moment.
As JR Smart Developments move west and Rightacres south, the meeting point and adjoining piece of the jigsaw is callaghan sq! Development at Callaghan sq was at one time I thought the next logical area of activity. It seems to have dissappeared from the radar as we are aware of other large projects underway or hopefully iminent. Let's hope the wait will be worth it and we get some top notch quality when construction eventually commences. For now and today the John St new planning app is up for consideration so that could be one significant plot occupied. All the action! here...
