Cardiff Edge

Cardiff Edge is owned by ‘Pioneer Group’ (PG) and ‘Harrison Street Real Estate’ (HSRE). PG are promoting the site on behalf of the Joint Venture. The ambition is to develop Cardiff Edge into the pre-eminent Life Science and Innovation location in South Wales.

Cardiff Edge currently provides approximately 180,000 ft² (16,700 m2) of ‘Life Science and Innovation’ space comprising Laboratories, Clean Rooms, Offices, GMP and support accommodation. The intention is to increase the scale of the site by constructing a further circa 270,000 ft² (25,000 m2) of new laboratories, offices and GMP accommodation, together with a new collaboration hub and associated car parking.

Planning application has been submitted for two new buildings on the campus, the first comprising a new two storey, 55,000 ft² office and lab enabled building. Maximum flexibility has been designed into the floorplates so that it is capable of accommodating both biology and chemistry laboratory requirements. It can be let as a whole or subdivided for multi-let purposes. The second building is a two storey, 10,000 sq. ft. hub at the heart of the campus which will provide occupiers with a central amenity space that could house a café, gym and flexible serviced office, meeting room and break out spaces.

The 27 acre (11 hectare) site Cardiff Edge, is strategically located to the north of Cardiff adjacent to J32 of the M4 motorway and, within 10 minutes’ walk of Radyr rail station. It has good access by foot and for cyclists wishing to use the Taff Trail which runs along the river from the City centre and continues north of the campus connecting a significant number of towns and residential locations.

The focus of Cardiff Edge is purely on ‘Life Science and Innovation’ related occupiers with some ancillary uses.

The planning process has commenced with the aim for constructing new buildings ready for occupation in 2024.
