Situated in the heart of Cardiff’s city centre, just a stone’s throw from the Principality Stadium, Howells is set to become a new vibrant quarter for the welsh capital. Thackery Group are investing £100m to redevelop the 270,000 sq ft site, retaining the historic façades and replacing or upgrading outdated 1970s elements to create a world class mixed-use scheme.

A Rich History
Over 150 years in the making
Howells has had a rich history since James Howell first established his furnishing and drapery store on the site back in 1867. Over the years several phases of development added to the site, which eventually became a House of Fraser department store in 1972.
