Cardiff has a retail catchment population of 1.6 million people, and a shopping population of 791,000 people, ranking the city 10th of all Promis centres. Due to the attractive lifestyle that it offers and its vibrant leisure and restaurant scene, the city boasts an above average proportion of the most affluent AB social group. Cardiff has been identified as a growth hotspot with projected population growth of over 42% in the next 20 years.

Cardiff benefits from 21 million tourists per annum, who boost local expenditure by almost £1.3 Bn a year, in addition to a sizeable student population. Many of the 70,000 students who study at the three universities in the city opt to remain in the city after graduating, attracted by the strong jobs market. This reflects the presence of several large organisations, including PwC, Legal & General, and Eversheds, who are attracted by the highly-educated workforce, 57% of whom are qualified to degree level.

ConnectivityCardiff’s excellent transport connections are a significant catalyst in the city’s economic strength.

RoadThe M4, accessed via Junction 32 4 miles to the north of the property, provides east-west links from London and Bristol in the east to the rest of South Wales in the west. It provides access to the M5 motorway via Junction 20, which leads north to Birmingham and the wider Midlands region. The Second Severn Crossing that joins Wales and England, now renamed the Prince of Wales Bridge saw the abolition of tolls into Wales as of December 2018, this will benefit 25 million drivers into Wales and we expect increase visitor numbers and bring new occupiers to the South Wales market.

RailCardiff Central station, situated 0.4 miles (600 metres) to the south of the property, is well served by the national rail network and was used by 12.7 million passengers in 2015/16. It provides frequent services to Newport (12 minutes), Bristol (38 minutes), London Paddington (2 hours), and Birmingham New Street (2 hours).

Cardiff Queen Station, situated 0.5 miles (800 metres) to the east of the property, serves the local Valleys and numerous other local destinations. It was used by 2.6 million passengers in 2015/16.

A £1.2 Bn Cardiff Capital Region deal was signed in 2016, £738 million of which has been committed to improving Cardiff’s rail connections to the surrounding towns and cities. Projects include the Valley Lines Electrification programme, and the South Wales Metro Scheme.

BusThe new bus station / interchange building has been approved with it expected to start on site this spring. Plans for a new £11 million bus station were approved by counsellors in late 2018, which will involve a 14 bay bus interchange. It is expected to be operational by 2021.

AirCardiff International Airport, located just 11 miles (18 km) south west of the city, offers direct flights to over 75 international destinations.

Retailing in CardiffCardiff is the region’s premier shopping destination, boasting one of the strongest and most extensive retail offers in the UK. The city’s 2.22 million sq ft of high quality retail space positions Cardiff 7th and 10th on the basis of its PMA retail and fashion score respectively. This reflects the impressive range of retailers that Cardiff is home to, from international retailers such as Apple, to aspirational retailers such as Hugo Boss and Reiss.

The core retail offer in Cardiff is centred around the pedestrianised Queen Street, The Hayes, and the city’s three shopping centres; St David’s Centre; Queens Arcade; and Capitol Centre. This range of pitches deliver a diverse and varied retail experience. Queens Street, Queen’s Arcade, and the Capitol Centre provide the mass market offer, with tenants including a number of multi-national retailers such as Zara, Primark, and Next, while The Hayes and St David’s shopping centre provide the more aspirational retail offer, including a 260,000 sq ft John Lewis and numerous designer brands such as Kurt Geiger and Karen Millen.

In addition to these more mainstream offers, the city boasts seven historic retail arcades, which are an integral part of the City’s retail landscape and provide a more vibrant and unique shopping experience.

Cardiff also benefits from a lively and thriving restaurant and bar scene, with a number of exciting new arrivals to the sector. This includes Marco Pierre White’s steak house opening in Dominions Arcade, The Alchemist converting the former NatWest on St Mary Street, and The Botanist and Honest Burgers both having pre-let space at Hermes’ development at 6/10 Church Street.

SituationThe property is situated on the pedestrianised High Street at the heart of The Castle Quarter. The Castle Quarter is a historical part of Cardiff situated between the city’s retail and employment offer.

The Castle Quarter comprises three outstanding Victorian and Edwardian Arcades and Cardiff Castle. The quarter has historically been home to specialist shops such as drapers, apothecaries, tailors, and jewelers. Over time, the arcades and the surrounding quarter have grown and adapted to the needs of a modern shopping environment.

Today, the Castle Quarter’s outstanding architecture and pedestrianised streets, provide a unique customer experience. Consequently, it is regarded to be the destination of choice for locals wanting to socialise and shop in the town centre, and tourists, looking to soak up the city’s history and cultural heritage.

Retail expenditure exceeded £4bn in 2018 and is diverse in its origins. It is underpinned by Cardiff’s far reaching catchment, the affluent and growing population, the sizeable student population, and the strength of the city’s underlying tourist appeal.
