In September 2013, S4C began a study into the possible relocation of its headquarters.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-24176514|title=S4C considers moving HQ from Cardiff to Carmarthen or Gwynedd|work=BBC News |date=20 September 2013|access-date=4 November 2022}}</ref> S4C's former headquarters, which opened in 1991, were located at Parc Ty Glas Industrial Estate, [[Llanishen]], following a move from Cathedral Road and Sophia Close in [[Pontcanna]], Cardiff. In January 2013, a new multi-use media centre was opened on its Llanishen site. In March 2014, it was announced that Carmarthen was the winner with a bid led by the [[University of Wales Trinity Saint David]] (UWTSD). The university owns the land where the Canolfan S4C Yr Egin (S4C Yr Egin Centre) would be built. The building would also be home to other companies in the creative industries.<ref>{{cite web |title=Press {{!}} S4C |url=https://www.s4c.cymru/en/press/post/27985/s4c-authority-agree-to-bid-to-move-channel-headquarters-to-carmarthen/ |access-date=5 February 2021 |website=www.s4c.cymru}}</ref> There was a strong bid for relocation to Caernarfon, where the channel had a pre-existing office, but there was disappointment when that the bid was unsuccessful.<ref>{{cite news |date=25 November 2016 |title=S4C headquarters 'should be in Caernarfon not Carmarthen' |language=en-GB |publisher=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-38103112 |access-date=5 February 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Carmarthen HQ plan for broadcaster |language=en-GB |publisher=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-wales-26584890 |access-date=5 February 2021}}</ref> In 2016, it was revealed that S4C was paying £3 million upfront rent to UWTSD, and that it would pay rent over the next 20 years. Concern was expressed about the arrangement and the lack of transparency around commercial payments between two publicly funded bodies. UWTSD applied for funding for the building work and received £3m from the Welsh Government and a further £3m from the Swansea Bay city deal.<ref>{{cite web |last=Barry |first=Sion |date=1 March 2017 |title=Welsh Government confirms £3m funding for Yr Egin creative industries hub |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/welsh-government-confirms-3m-funding-12674187 |access-date=5 February 2021 |website=WalesOnline}}</ref>

In June 2018, it was revealed that more staff would be leaving the channel than moving to work in Carmarthen. S4C started relocating to the new building from September 2018, and 54 jobs moved to the new HQ. An office in Cardiff was retained for technical purposes until full changeover to the [[BBC Cymru Wales New Broadcasting House|new BBC Wales Headquarters]], with 70 staff there. A significant percentage of the technical posts were to transfer to the BBC.<ref>{{cite news |date=6 June 2018 |title=More S4C staff leave than fully commit to move to new HQ |language=en-GB |publisher=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-44376069 |access-date=5 February 2021}}</ref> In September 2018, S4C committed to ten years of lease on its Caernarfon office at Doc Fictoria (Victoria Dock), which has 12 full-time staff,<ref>{{cite web |title=Press {{!}} S4C |url=https://www.s4c.cymru/en/press/post/29035/s4c-commit-to-caernarfon/ |access-date=5 February 2021 |website=www.s4c.cymru}}</ref> and was opened in 2008.
