Work on one of the biggest developments in Cardiff appears to be underway again after the the coronavirus pandemic halted construction. The large concrete frame of the 1 John Street development stood, apparently unchanged, on the bustling city centre street for over a year.
John Street is the site of a huge new office development, with 10 storeys and over 100,000 square feet of grade A office space under construction. The development involves three interlocking high-rise blocks with developers also wanting to build a new hotel as part of a 27-storey building also given the go-ahead.
Work now appears to be underway on the development after it remained, at least from the outside, unchanged for months - some even suggested that the large concrete frame that occupied the site looked more like a car park than the promised plush new office block. Once finished, however, the block will eventually be able to accommodate 1,000 workers.
