Porth Teigr/Tiger Gate (Cardiff)

 neighbourhood development  Add category

Porth Teigr (English: Tiger Gate) is an area under development in Cardiff Bay, in the south of Cardiff, Wales. The multi-use area will host the BBC drama village, with plans to link this to a new digital centre. The work will cover the last piece of brownfield area, thus completing the inner harbour jigsaw of Cardiff Bay. The development was granted permission in 2008 to become the centre point for creative industries in Wales.

Today, Porth Teigr is one of the most significant waterfront property projects in Europe. A project by specialist sustainable investor, Igloo (an Aviva Investors fund), working with the Welsh Government, Porth Teigr will be (and is already becoming) a truly mixed-use, sustainable neighbourhood - ultimately including creative, commercial, residential and leisure uses. Some elements of Porth Teigr (such as the BBC's Roath Lock Studios, below) are already complete; some is under way; lots is still to come.
