Atlantic Wharf (Welsh: Glanfa Iwerydd) is a southern area of the city of Cardiff, Wales.
It also includes a number of refurbished dock warehouses, modern hotels, the Red Dragon Centre and Cardiff Council's County Hall.
[3] The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation was set up in the late 1980s to drive regeneration of the Docks area.
[5] There are also plans to regenerate the area with a large mixed-use development situated on a 30 acres (12 ha) site;[6] this would include new council offices, waterfront apartments, a replacement leisure complex, hotel and "immersive" arts theatre to sit alongside a new 15,000 capacity indoor arena.
[7][8] The district of Newtown was constructed on the initiative of the Marquess of Bute in the mid-1800s to provide housing for the labourers who were building the new docks.
