The Cross Hands Growth Zone has emerged as a Transformation project from an exciting array of individual developments offering a huge regeneration impact clustered around the Cross Hands settlement area, all of which are at varying stages of development which collectively will significantly contribute to the economic growth of the Swansea Bay City region.

There are 5 prominent development sites within the Cross Hands Growth Zone. Commercially, the offering at Cross Hands Growth Zone is very attractive. The zone offers a pleasing mix of uses and opportunities and all the components are in place to provide comfort to any investor. The zone is mature but still offers huge economic growth potential with the 5 new sites within the Growth Zone emerging. Around 500 new homes are planned; £50m of private sector investment and 1,500 jobs.

The Zone will consolidate what has been an area of assorted identities since the 1980s. With new transport improvements planned in addition to the large investment experienced to date; location to markets, lifestyle and workforce and potential grant availability, Cross Hands Growth Zone allows you to build on its history for the future.

Carmarthenshire’s position in the new Swansea Bay City Region is exciting.
