The developers behind a major development in Newport say they "remain committed" to delivering the rest of the project despite work yet to begin years after planning permission was granted. Admiral House in Newport opened in June 2014 as part of major plans to build a development known as the Station Quarter near the city's train station.
The six-storey, 80,800sq ft office block on Queensway was heralded as a much-needed step towards enhancing the city's economy when it opened, but the company delivered a blow when it announced last November it would be leaving permanently. At the time it said it had made the decision based on a move towards "hybrid" home working after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Its offices based in Capital Quarter in Cardiff will close "over the course of 2022", but offices at the Ty Admiral and Capital Tower, as well as in in Swansea city centre and Llansamlet, will remain. 50% of Admiral workers in Newport left in January this year and it will fully vacate the site completely from 2023.
