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.”

Cardiff Waterside is a significant property holding for Aviva Investors at almost 500,000 sq ft. Our experiences show the benefit of working with a regional specialist where occupational markets can be unlocked with a good team with excellent local contacts. Ben Bolton and his team have done this for us for many years and been fundamental to our success and a very low void rate in Cardiff.
