JR Smart just wouldn't be building a 300,000 square foot building for anyone else sadly, although wouldn't it be great if a handful of organisations did show enough interest for them to do so?
It'll be interesting to see what they do with this site now, with the plans they already have for almost 200,000 square foot of space at nearby Numbers 3 and 4 at Capital Quarter it could be some time until we see any plans.
Yes it's looking less likely that the existing approved development will proceed - although what do we know eh! So what next for this superbly located site? well JR Smart originally planned a fairly substantial Hotel for capital quarter, now if all the plans for Central Square - Brains Brewery - Dumballs Road - Cardiff RFC come to fruition, or are likely to (for those rather more in the know than us 'observers' ) then maybe they will think again about constructing a Hotel there? So I think they should give Christopher a bell and build the original concept of Bayscape Tower there!!
ps. If you're reading Christopher then nothing against existing modifications of Bayscape plans, which are completely understandable - rather flattery of that original tower, with observation floors!!
