Bro Tathan is a 1,200-acre strategic employment and innovation site located at St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan (Bro Tathan Site). The Bro Tathan Site forms part of the Cardiff Airport and St Athan Enterprise Zone, a key driver for regional growth. The Bro Tathan Site benefits from exceptional connectivity - just five miles from Cardiff Airport and directly linked to the M4 corridor via the Northern Access Road (Ffordd Bro Tathan). It also features a fully operational 1,800-metre runway with airside access. Bro Tathan is already home to major occupiers such as Aston Martin Lagonda, eCube Solutions and Caerdav, and offers capacity for over3 million sq ft of additional development across its designated zones (West, East, North, South and Y Porth).
