The regeneration scheme from Rightacres Property in the centre of Cardiff will reach further significant milestones next year.
Work on the 135,000 sq ft 2 Central Square office scheme is progressing well and its tenants in law firm Hugh James and Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, will start moving into the Rio Architects designed building in the summer.
And the new £120m headquarters for BBC Cymru Wales at Central Square is expected to be handed over to the public service broadcaster in the spring.
But then will begin an intensive 18 month technology driven fit out of the building.
There will be around 750 work desk spaces, but it is not envisaged that all 1,200 staff will ever be in the building at the same.
And if so, it has the fall back of around 1,000 spaces in the collaboration and meeting room spaces around the building.
BBC Wales has yet to finalise its staff migration programme but it will see the first staff, most likely in non news administration roles, moving into the building in autumn 2019.
The plan is to have all staff in the building in the first quarter of 2020.
Also at Central Square a new 270,000 sq ft public sector hub for the UK Government will start to take real shape in 2018 with construction work from Sir Robert McAlpine having recently started.
The building, whose tenants will include HMRC for its new HQ in Wales and the Wales Office, will be ready for occupancy in 2020.
