There will be 2 commercial units, one on the Kingsway (formerly McDonalds) and the other on Park Street (formerly the Travel House). The development will also benefit from a green roof on the building via the Welsh Governments Transforming Towns Programme.

The contractors for this development are Easy Living Ltd. Work started in Summer 2024 with expected handover in Autumn 2025.

This development is in the heart of Swansea’s SA1 waterfront and will deliver one commercial space for rent, along with 104 apartments for social rent.

The contractors for this site are Everstock Development & Pickstock Homes. This project started in Summer 2024 with handover anticipated in Spring 2027.

The next phase in the growth of Urban Village is the redevelopment of Kings Lane Corner. This provides a natural extension to Urban Village and will front on to the Strand and the lane, which is a key pedestrian link to High Street and the city centre.

A series of shipping container style units will accommodate several small-scale businesses, and landscaped open spaces. The scheme will form another piece in the urban village jigsaw and combined with previous projects and future plans, will create a vibrant local destination that will appeal to visitors, businesses and residents.

The second part of this scheme will turn the interior of this development in to office spaces, bringing new local job opportunities. The scheme is being designed to accommodate single or multiple office occupiers in circa 860m2 (net internal area) and will include basement parking and usable roof top spaces with views to Mumbles.

The scheme proposal is for the restoration and conversion of the former Castle Cinema in Swansea city centre to provide 30 affordable homes and new commercial units. The property is a Grade II listed building immediately north of Swansea Castle. It is also located within a designated conservation area. This development has therefore been sensitively designed in recognition of its architectural and historic importance and aims to preserve as many of the original features as possible, whilst identifying sustainable uses that will ensure its long-term preservation as a key building in the city.

The project will include two separate areas for commercial use: the lower part of the building that fronts on to the Strand is intended to accommodate small scale office use. In the main elevation facing Worcester Place and the Castle, a new commercial unit over two storeys is being created that anticipates a café/restaurant type use. A new glazed box is proposed that will form part of this unit and front onto the Castle and open space.

The scheme is being undertaken in tandem with the Castle Gardens scheme that is being taken forward by the Council on adjacent land. In combination, the two projects will transform this important part of the city.

This development comprises of a comprehensive refurbishment with partial demolition programme, which at present includes the provision of 17 homes along and 2 commercial units at ground and first floor. The contractor for this site is Easyliving Ltd.

The development is part funded by Welsh Government’s Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme (TACP) and is due for completion in 2026.
