Major Projects
Cardiff International Sports Village
The ÂŁ300m Cardiff International Sports Village (CISV) was Orion’s first regeneration project, which formed the stepping stone for Orion to work successfully with a number of other local authorities and private landowners. In 2001, Cardiff County Council selected Orion to be their Master-Developer for the CISV. The contaminated 80-acre site in Cardiff Bay was to form an important part of Cardiff’s bid to stage the Commonwealth Games.
Philips Electronics, Explore Investments, and Laing O’Rouke became Orion’s partners. Orion achieved planning consent for 1,000 residential bay-side homes, selling the site to a US-based company for the highest residential land value achieved in Wales at that time. Consent also included an award-winning 50m Commonwealth Games standard swimming pool and leisure water, 100,000sq ft of A3 and leisure space, a conference centre, a new arena for the Cardiff Ice Devils, a white water rafting centre, Toys R Us, a Morrisons superstore, and a marina.
