Cafodd yr adeilad 79,500 troedfedd sgwâr, y mae ei holl swyddfeydd wedi’u gosod, ei adeiladu fel datblygiad tybiannol gan JR Smart a chafodd ei brynu gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn 2013 am £14 miliwn.  

Roedd datblygu’r swyddfeydd Gradd A newydd yn agwedd allweddol ar y strategaeth i sicrhau mai Ardal Fenter Canol Caerdydd fyddai un o brif leoliadau’r DU ar gyfer y sector gwasanaethau ariannol a phroffesiynol. 

Roedd caffael Rhif 1 Cwr y Ddinas yn golygu bod modd sicrhau bod y datblygiad yn cael ei gwblhau’n gyflym, gan ddarparu swyddfeydd o’r radd flaenaf yr oedd gwir eu hangen ar gyfer denu buddsoddiad a swyddi newydd. Ar y pryd nid oedd ond un cynllun swyddfeydd Gradd A ar waith yn y ddinas a oedd wedi’i gwblhau ac a oedd ar gael.

Er mwyn sicrhau bod rhagor o swyddfeydd o safon yn cael eu darparu cefnogodd Llywodraeth Cymru JR Smart i adeiladu a chyllido datblygiad swyddfeydd gradd A arall dros 85,000 o droedfeddi sgwâr ar lain cyfagos drwy ddefnyddio Grant Datblygu Eiddo. 

Mae’r adeilad a gydnabyddir fel ‘Da Iawn’ gan BREEAM bellach yn gwbl lawn ac mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo ar drydydd datblygiad swyddfeydd dros 75,000 o droedfeddi sgwâr. Mae maes parcio sy’n cynnig 300 o leoedd hefyd yn cael ei ddatblygu.  

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a’r Seilwaith, Ken Skates: 


> “Mae Ardal Fenter Canol Caerdydd yn parhau i fynd o nerth i nerth ac mae gwerthiant Rhif 1 Cwr  y Ddinas yn tystio i hyn. Yn ddiamau roedd buddsoddiad cychwynnol Llywodraeth Cymru’n ysgogiad a gwnaeth yn sicr ennyn hyder yn y farchnad. Canlyniad hyn yw buddsoddiad sylweddol mewn datblygiadau mawr yn y ddinas. 
> 
> “Mae darparu swyddfeydd o’r radd flaenaf wedi cyfrannu at lwyddiant Ardal Fenter Canol Caerdydd, ac wedi galluogi busnesau presennol yn y sector gwasanaethau ariannol a phroffesiynol i ehangu a denu mewnfuddsoddiad newydd.”

Cafodd Global Gate Capital gyngor gan Bilfinger GVA ac mae’r buddsoddiad hwn yn rhan o strategaeth ehangach o fuddsoddi mewn adeiladau o safon o fewn lleoliadau craidd yn y DU. 

Knight Frank oedd asiantwyr Llywodraeth Cymru a gwnaeth Blake Morgan ddarparu’r cyngor cyfreithiol. Swyddfa Belfinger GVA yn Llundain a weithredodd ar ran y prynwr. 

Yn ogystal â Chwr y Ddinas, mae Cynllun Sgwâr Canolog Rightacre, sy’n gwbl arloesol ac a gefnogir gan y buddsoddwr Legal \& General, yn parhau i ddenu tenantiaid newydd, gan gynnwys y cwmni MotoNovo sy’n gwmni allweddol o fewn y sector Gwasanaethau Ariannol a Phroffesiynol. Mae gwaith ar Bencadlys newydd y BBC a Rhif 2 y Sgwâr Canolog yn mynd rhagddo o hyd ac mae swyddfeydd eisoes wedi’u gosod i gwmnïau amlwg. Mae’r gwaith o ddymchwel Tŷ Marland ar gyfer yr Hwb Trafnidiaeth Gyhoeddus newydd ac ar gyfer datblygu rhagor o swyddfeydd ar raddfa fawr hefyd yn mynd rhagddo.

The 79,500 sq. ft. office, which is fully occupied, was built as a speculative development by JR Smart and bought by the Welsh Government in 2013 for £14m. 

The development of new Grade A offices was a key element in the strategy to make Central Cardiff Enterprise Zone one of the prime locations in the UK for the financial and professional services sector.

The acquisition of 1 Capital Quarter ensured the development was completed swiftly to provide much needed top quality accommodation to attract new investment and jobs. At the time there was only one Grade A office scheme in the city that was completed and available for occupation.

To ensure the further delivery of high quality offices, Welsh Government supported JR Smart in the construction and financing an additional 85,000 sq. ft. grade A office development on an adjacent plot through the use of a Property Development Grant.

This BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rated building is now 100% occupied and work is underway on a third 75,000 sq. ft. office development together with the completion of a 300 space car park.

Economy Cabinet Secretary Ken Skates said: 


> “Central Cardiff Enterprise Zone continues to go from strength to strength as evidenced by the sale of 1 Capital Quarter. The Welsh Government’s initial investment undoubtedly acted as a catalyst and inspired confidence in the market with the result that we have since seen significant investment in major developments in the city.
> 
> “The provision of office accommodation of the highest quality has contributed to the success of Central Cardiff Enterprise Zone, enabled existing businesses in the financial and professional services sector to expand and attracted new inward investment.”

Global Gate Capital were advised by Bilfinger GVA and this investment is part of a wider strategy of investing in quality buildings in core locations in the UK.

Knight Frank were agents for Welsh Government and Blake Morgan provided legal advice. The London office of Belfinger GVA acted for the purchaser.

In addition to Capital Quarter, developer Rightacres’s ‘game changing’ Central Square Scheme, backed by major investor Legal \& General, continues to attract new tenants, including key Financial and Professional Services company MotoNovo. Work on the new BBC HQ and Number Two Central Square continues at a pace with lettings to key occupiers. Work to demolish Marland House for the replacement Public Transportation Hub and for the development of further large scale offices is also moving forward.
