SA1 Swansea Waterfront

SA1 Swansea Waterfront is a mixed use development located just 10 minutes’ walk the heart of Swansea city centre, which already includes residential, offices, cafes, restaurants, hotels, health centres and much more. The Ethos development provides world class office space combined with an enviable frontage over the River Tawe, while Langdon House is a 4 story, 45,000 sq ft development, offering accommodation for SMEs, with underground parking and a central location. With opportunities for investors to benefit from the new social, leisure and business opportunities that SA1 presents, SA1 is regarded as a best practice benchmark for waterfront regeneration across Europe.

Swansea City Centre

With its own Business Improvement District (BID) and having been the focus of a recent conference bringing international expertise in to advise on the way forward, Swansea City Centre is a great business location, whether you’re in retail, professional or other business services.  The BID is managed by a board which uses the extra 1% charged on the business rates to put in place initiatives, which city centre businesses decide on, to help the centre to thrive and grow.

Swansea Vale

Comprising some 190 hectares (470 acres) Swansea Vale is a flagship development located close to M4 junction 44. With unrivalled potential for business and residential development and located only five miles from Swansea City Centre, the site is a model for city expansion.

Swansea West Business Park

Swansea West Business Park is the largest industrial estate in Swansea, located 4 miles north-west of the City Centre and 2 miles from the M4, junction 47. The existing estate accommodates approximately 140 firms.

Felindre

A multi-million pound scheme to transform the 84 acre site at Felindre, just off the M4 north of Swansea, has been underway. A new internal road has been built and all 12 development plots have been connected to electricity, gas, water and telecoms supplies. The site’s transformation is a multi-million pound joint venture between Swansea Council and the Welsh Government. The Welsh Government and the European Regional Development Fund awarded £11.7 million to the scheme. Consultants are currently preparing a marketing and branding strategy for the business park. The aim is for Felindre to become home to high-tech manufacturers and research and technology industries.

Fabian Way

Fabian Way Gateway is situated just off the M4, junction 42, at the gateway to Swansea and is where Amazon has located its 4th UK distribution centre. The internet giant chose the Swansea Bay location due to its proximity to Amazon’s key London market, reasonable land values, a great availability of quality employees and the assistance provided by the local authority and the Welsh Government. The adjacent Swansea Gate Business Park, home to Bay Film Studios, one of the largest indoor studios in Europe is attracting interest and the site is opposite Swansea University’s new Bay Campus.

Two storey contemporary office developments for single or multiple uses are also envisaged for Delta Lakes possibly incorporating an “office village” complex for smaller end-users. .

Cross Hands Food Park

The dedicated 50-acre Cross Hands Food Park is the first designated centre of excellence for food technology in the whole of Wales.

One of the country’s leading independent food wholesalers, privately owned Castell Howell Foods, is also based here.
