Central Cardiff’s Enterprise Zone designation is testament to our ambition of confirming Cardiff as the UK’s premier business location after London.

It’s a sizeable ambition and we understand our role in realising it, through investment in and co-ordination of infrastructure and property development.

it has become home to world-class venues such as the Principality Stadium and Wales Millennium Centre, confirming it as a favourite city destination for tourists
it offers a wide range of high-quality business space to meet the needs of modern business at very competitive occupational costs
it offers the chance for inward investors to locate alongside leading UK and International businesses and institutions, including Legal & General, SKY, RBS, Deloitte, and the BBC
it provides opportunities for new mixed-use investment and development to further enhance the Zone’s existing vibrancy, vitality, and sense of place
