Central Square

The rooftop pool skyscraper would be nice. And green roofs FTW.

as much as we all want that design, if we get it with room top gardens, swimming pools and 30 storey towers I will show my arse in Queen Street

It will never look like that. It will be boxy with cheap materials, just like 1 Capital Quater.

Can't see it.

Considering there's potentially a large amount off office space going on that plot I think the masterplan type of design below seems more realistic, with room at the wood street end for a hotel and/or apartment tower. The images above just seem more linked to an apartment or hotel dominated development on that plot, or is it just me ?

...although I'd prefer the design that Nick's post shows I might add !

That does look good. The buildings may look similar to these. The other pics we have seen are just generic blocks indicating a building to be built. I am sure at one point 1 central square would have had a simpler picture to what is being shown now. Will just have to wait and see what comes about when the individual planning apps come out for those buildings.

I don't know if those lovely CGIs have any basis on reality considering they don't take into account Network Rail's plans for Cardiff Central.
