A Swansea street where goods were once unloaded from the River Tawe could soon feature commercial units made from shipping containers and a block of flats. Housing association Coastal Housing Group wants to create a two-storey shipping container development on the corner of The Strand and Kings Lane. There would be affordable one and two-bed apartments in a six storey-block to the side along with ground floor commercial space.
The site forms part of Coastal Housing's Urban Village development between The Strand and High Street. There is a multi-storey car park beside the development site which would remain in place. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
Andrew Parry Jones, Coastal Housing regeneration manager, said of the proposal: "This would be the first in a series of exciting new projects Coastal is looking to deliver in the High Street and Strand area of the city in the next few years."
