Callaghan Square

A new public square and new link road, Lloyd George Avenue, were conceived by the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC), using a PFI scheme that will cost taxpayers £189 million over 25 years.

Initial stages were completed by October 2000 (when Lloyd George Avenue was officially opened).

[2] Initially named Bute Square, in 1998 the development had been considered as a location for the new home of the Senedd.

The first phase, a 145,000 sq ft office building completed by 2002, was named No 1 Bute Square.

[8] In March 2011 a report revealed plans to re-route the roads and junctions surrounding the square, possibly replacing the Herbert Street railway bridge, removing the road to the north of the square and adding a dedicated bus lane.
