SA1 Swansea Waterfront is a 100 acre prime development site located on the waterfront within the heart of the city of Swansea. This new area of Swansea will offer fully integrated mixed use development opportunities comprising business (primarily B1/office), residential, local and specialist retail as well as leisure uses. Recently acquired by the Welsh Development Agency, up to £200 million is being invested in this former dockland site.
The site’s key advantage is its location in Swansea which is building a reputation as Wales’ creative city. Swansea is rich in art and culture and takes pride in its heritage and community spirit. Swansea is an increasingly popular location for entrepreneurs, its diversity providing an ideal environment for experimentation. The presence of the University of Wales Swansea and the availability of skilled graduates provide a strong selling point for knowledge-based businesses.
SA1 Swansea Waterfront aims to build upon Swansea’s growing popularity whilst maintaining a strong sense of community. This will be achieved by integrating the site with the city and supporting existing and anticipated developments in the Maritime Quarter of Swansea Waterfront. The creation of two new footbridges will be instrumental in creating strong visual, physical and functional links between the two key waterfront areas.
