One of Swansea's iconic buildings is set to have new tenants after years of being marketed. The fortunes of council-owned Swiss Cottage have waxed and waned - more of the latter in recent years - but its future looks altogether brighter.
Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, cabinet member for investment, regeneration and tourism, said an agreement had been reached with a tenant. In a written response to a question about the building from Conservative councillors Will Thomas and Lyndon Jones, Cllr Francis-Davies said it had been marketed to prospective tenants who were willing to invest considerable sums in it and operate a facility that would enhance Singleton Park and the adjacent Botanical Gardens.

"We are pleased to advise that agreement has been reached with an interested party and the matter is currently in solicitors' hands," said the Labour cabinet member's response. Previously, Swansea University had been in discussions with the council about projects which included grade two-listed Swiss Cottage, but nothing was taken forward.
