Acting on behalf of Cannon Capital Developments Ltd, Cooke & Arkwright, together with joint agents Savills, have advised on the disposal of the former HMRC offices site at Ty Glas, Cardiff to Cardiff Council.

The site, which is a major land mark in North Cardiff, totals around 19 acres and has over 500,000 sq.ft. of offices in a series of major blocks. 

The Chairman of Cooke & Arkwright, Michael Lawley who brokered the disposal with Cardiff Council commented, “This was a good deal for both sides. 

“It enabled Cannondale to exit the site in an orderly manner following the vacation of the site by HMRC after a long period of occupation, and it gave Cardiff Council the opportunity to secure a major redevelopment opportunity for educational purposes in North Cardiff, where there would normally be a dearth of such sites. 

“We were pleased to be involved in this transaction on such a high profile site.”

Blake Morgan committed to 29,000 sq ft office in the exciting Central Square development. We retained Ben Bolton and his team some time ago to advise and appraise options in the lead up to this significant move of our Cardiff Office. The business is extremely pleased with the outcome and Ben's negotiations and attention to detail was a major part to this.
