We're celebrating the 15th birthday of St David’s Cardiff 🎈   First opening in October 2009, our St David’s development transformed Cardiff into one of the UK’s top shopping destinations with nearly one million square foot of premium retail space.   Today, it’s home to more than 180 independent shops and restaurants—from attracting international brands to championing Welsh independents. And with a £17m investment plan submitted in August to transform unused space into a new city square, we’re committed to growth that supports more people to live, work, and spend time in the vibrant city centre.   This year’s #Landsec80 campaign is showcasing the 80-year impact of our places across the UK. The regeneration of St David’s is one of these historic landmarks, and exemplifies how we’re creating sustainable, long-term value for people, communities, and businesses.

75% of disabled people and their families have reported walking away from an organisation because of poor #accessibility or customer service.   As an industry, we have a responsibility to address these inequalities, and to position inclusivity at the front and centre of all planning and design discussions. That's why we recently published our Inclusive Design Principles, which support us and everyone we work with in delivering best-in-class accessible, useable, and welcoming spaces: 👉 https://lnkd.in/egJmQPrX   We welcome today's Inclusive Spaces and Places inclusive design report from The Crown Estate and Grosvenor, and look forward to working with our peers across the industry to create spaces that are truly for all.

Today, we’ve submitted a planning application for the third phase of our £45m investment into the UK’s leading waterfront retail destination, Gunwharf Quays 🌊 We’re investing to reinvigorate the high footfall area of Central Square—which includes transforming a currently underused space into a new family-friendly dining hub. Our proposals include the installation of a large digital screen in the heart of Central Square, creating new advertising opportunities for brands, and a place to showcase sporting and local events as a new attraction for guests. We’re committed to enhancing Gunwharf Quays so it remains a high-quality place that generates value for our brand partners, our communities, and our investors. If approved, the Central Square developments are planned to commence in spring 2025, which follows on from renovation work to Marlborough Square, which has already been approved for early 2025.
