The Embankment Site proposes to deliver sustainable regeneration to a key site within Cardiff city centre
The Embankment Site will deliver the sustainable redevelopment of a key strategic, 40-acre site, creating up to 2,500 new homes alongside 54,000 m² of business space. Plans also include opportunities for leisure, hospitality and retail uses, on what is currently under-utilised, low-quality industrial space.
The proposal will open up access to the riverside reconnecting the city to the bay with an uninterrupted pathway and provide much needed connections between Grangetown and Butetown through inclusion of a new cycle and footbridge across the river Taff. The plans also include considerable open space with a new riverside park and water taxi stop that will create additional routes along the river.
Location
The Embankment site is located just south of Cardiff city centre, a short six-minute walk from Cardiff Central railway station. The development sits on the east bank of the river Taff, between the residential areas of Grangetown and Butetown. The masterplan aims to transform the currently neglected industrial area, reconnecting surrounding communities to the river and add a walkable new neighbourhood to Cardiff city centre.
