The first phase of ambitious plans to transform the landmark Howells building in the centre of Cardiff, including a roof terrace, have been revealed.
Real estate investment, development and asset management company Thackeray Group acquired the listed building, which extends to more than 270,000 sq ft on a 1.7 acre site, out of property administration last January.
The first phase of its £100m mixed-use redevelopment plans for the listed building - in a section which was added to the original building in the 1930s - has seen nearly 27,000 sq ft brought to market. The space has been relinquished by retailer House of Fraser which continues to trade from the rest of the building as a tenant.
