Castle Quarter plans to go on display


Multi-million pound investment to regenerate historic city centre location

Plans for an exciting new development which could help transform a historic part of Swansea’s city centre are to go on display this week.

At Coastal Housing Group we have plans to invest almost £8 million in regenerating land off Castle Lane.  This development will offer affordable accommodation and new commercial units all under one roof.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Swansea’s historic castle remains, the Castle Quarter development will consist of 26 affordable rented apartments, with a further 4 duplex units overlooking the castle which are available for private sale. The ground floor of the development will consist of a small number of commercial units, including a kiosk located on The Strand.

The development represents a significant investment in the local economy.  Subject to planning permission being secured, the project will create more than 50 jobs during construction – which will also include apprenticeship opportunities. In addition, around a further 60 jobs will be created in the commercial units once it is open for business.

To ensure local people are aware of the plans for the development, we will be holding a series of public information events, which will be held at:

First Floor, 11 Wind Street, Swansea
·        Thursday, 5th July  - 4pm to 7pm
·        Friday, 6th July – 4pm to 7pm
·        Saturday, 7th July – 10am – 1pm
