Although we have been saying it for some time, it is nice to have independent and external developers confirming that Swansea City Centre is moving forward again.Developers behind the £9 million rejuvenation of Pearl House are quoted in today's Evening Post as saying that Swansea is on the up. They have given the city a vote of confidence and are convinced that the city centre's fortunes are about to be transformed.
Director, Martyn Guess, said: "The reason we bought it is that we could see the potential of Swansea. I have been coming here for 10 years and I thought something was going to happen.
"With what is happening in the docks, along with all the residential and other developments, the whole place is being regenerated."
Mr Guess believes the new-look Kingsway and the redevelopment of the former David Evans store would lift that part of the city.
He said: "With all the road works that have been going on, it has been like armageddon down there. But it will be good. That is why we bought the property, the new David Evans and the new retailers will definitely enhance the area. I think making Princess Way narrower will also make it a more intimate shopping area."
It is nice to see that others appreciate the way that the Administration has picked up the pieces of Labour's disastrous mismanagement of the City Centre.
