Carbon leaves its footprint in Creative Quarter
COMMERCIAL law firm Carbon Law Partners has expanded into new premises at the Creative Quarter in the centre of Cardiff.
In 2015, Carbon chose Cardiff as the headquarters for its growing business. Initially based in Westgate House, Carbon has now moved into its new home, having agreed a fiveyear lease.
Property consultant Knight Frank advised the company in its search for new offices. Carbon’s founder and chief executive Michael Burne said: “The Creative Quarter is the perfect home for the Carbon hub. We love the refurbishment of the building – the mix of the raw, traditional and historic with the contemporary.”
The Creative Quarter provides individual studios created in the old Morgan Arcade Chambers and the upper floors of the former David Morgan department store. Already home to a rapidly growing community of businesses, a recent string of new lettings has added to existing tenants including Bad Wolf Productions, The Urbanists and HLM Architects.
Mr Burne added: “We have worked closely with Knight Frank throughout this process to find the right home for our Cardiff headquarters – their expertise, understanding of our business, along with their grasp of the type of space we wanted, were essential in delivering our great new office space.”
Mark Sutton, partner at Knight Frank’s Cardiff ofice, said: “Carbon Law Partners’ modern approach in a traditional sector is reflected in their property requirements and it meant that we needed to explore non-corporate options for their new office.
“Creative Quarter combines the contemporary finishes and modern facilities with period features retaining the character of the arcades – a perfect match for occupiers like Carbon Law Partners.”
