Plans for a major new laboratory and office space development at Cardiff Edge Science Park have been approved in a boost to the Welsh life sciences sector.
Owners of the 30-acre park, Pioneer Group, will deliver a 54,000 sq ft two-storey building after securing planning consent from Cardiff Council.
Pioneer, which is one of the UK’s largest developers and operators of lab space and acquired Cardiff Edge Science Park in the spring of 2021 from Garrison Barclay Estates, said the building’s flexible design will mean it can be let to one tenant or a number split across several units. It will be marketed across the life sciences spectrum – from start-ups and scale-ups to multinational blue chips.
