Area: 46,500sqm

Site: brownfield
Callaghan Square was developed as part of a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme to link central Cardiff with Cardiff Bay.
In 1998 the development had been considered as a location for the new home of the National Assembly for Wales. The site was rejected due to the risks associated with a complex PFI scheme. It was also felt that the site would be too small and dominated by traffic.
A statue of the 2nd Marquess of Bute was relocated to the square in 2000.
