We are planning to invest almost £8 million in regenerating land off Castle Lane, and 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 four 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 by Coastal into 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 they open for business.
Coastal’s Director of Development Gerraint Oakley said: “This project represents a significant investment which we hope will reinvigorate this historic part of the city centre. We have a unique opportunity to develop something special here which will offer affordable accommodation in a city centre location.”

With the development located so close to Swansea Castle, we have worked closely with the local authority in designing the development and with other consultees to ensure the castle’s historic value is preserved.
