Home > Cardiff Bay

The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation was created in 1987 to stimulate the redevelopment of the rundown area. With the exception of a few historic buildings (the Pierhead building, the Norwegian Church and a warehouse or two), most of the historic quayside areas have been, or will be, lined with new developments including housing, shops, offices, restaurants, a cinema and other leisure facilities, and - the most infamous addition to the area - a new £52 million home for the National Assembly for Wales, designed by Richard Rogers.
