SA1 Swansea Waterfront is situated on the south-eastern edge of the city centre, with access to Fabian Way (A483) which serves Junction 42 of the M4 motorway to the east.
SA1 is a large scale regeneration project, initiated by the Welsh Assembly Government, which occupies 100 acres of former Associated British Port operational docklands, centred around the Prince of Wales dock. Office, hotel, leisure and residential developments have already been constructed, with further leisure, residential and office uses proposed.
The University of Wales Trinity St David (UWTSD) has acquired 19.5 acres at SA1 to develop their £100m waterfront campus. Work on the new “Innovation Campus” is underway with students expected on site from September 2018.
The development plans are following in the footsteps of the £450m development on Fabian Way by Swansea University. This 59 acre campus opened in September 2015 and focuses on science and innovation.
