Not sure where the HA staff (or Parks dept staff who moved there not so long ago) are going, but seems like more "consolidation" on the part of the council.
They're not that old, and have some of the best office views in Cardiff - would be a great spot for someone to least (though you might not get much work done - too much to look at out of the windows!).
I always found it a bit odd that the council kept hold of that building. IIRC, the original Harbour Authority were Thames Water, of all people. After devolution the WG gave the statutory duties to Cardiff Council but there had to be a degree of seperation as the Harbour Authority's duties are enshrined in UK legislation.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the building. Something like a health spa or a boutique hotel might be the way to go. I don't see it staying as offices.
