The City of Swansea
The key advantage of SA1 Swansea Waterfront over other dockland redevelopments is its location at the heart of the city of Swansea. If there is one location that can offer an enriching quality of life, it has to be Swansea. Seaside, countryside, character villages, thriving city centre - this magnificent and varied landscape, coupled with a superb location on the South Wales coastline makes Swansea special. Swansea has a population of 570,000 within a 30 minute drive time radius and has been described as the ‘gateway’ to West Wales, occupying a strategic position in the historical, political and economic development of Wales.

Swansea is a vibrant creative city, a city rich in music, art and culture. Swansea takes pride in its heritage and community spirit and is populated by enterprising people with a strong sense of togetherness that has stood up to and triumphed over enormous social and industrial change over the last 30 years. Swansea has also built a reputation for its highly respected seat of learning through its University that year on year delivers highly qualified graduates. These ingredients combine to provide an ideal environment for creative and enterprising businesses. SA1 Swansea Waterfront will build on the city’s success in attracting creative, technology and knowledge-based businesses.
