Exciting times ahead for Llanelli! 🎉 After years of anticipation, the brand new Market Street North building is almost ready to welcome its first occupants. Set in the heart of the town, this impressive development boasts five ground-floor commercial units and 10 stylish flats above. 🌆
Once the site of the old Cambrian Hotel and Barbican pub, this corner of Market Street and Stepney Street is set to burst back into life. The council has been hard at work for years – facing some delays along the way – but the finish line is now in sight. Mark your calendars because these commercial spaces will be ready by April! 🗓️
But that’s not the only thing shaking up Llanelli!🏢 Across from Spring Gardens, the former YMCA building has been transformed into stunning flats and versatile spaces for commercial and office use. Even with three of its four ground-floor units available earlier this month, interest is growing with one unit already leased.
This project is part of a broader push by the council to revitalise Llanelli after a tough retail survey early last year showed a concerning 26.4% vacancy rate among retail and service units. The aim is clear: boost the economy and get more feet on the street!
Looking ahead, there’s chatter about potentially relocating the indoor market to the historic Woolworths site, but that’ll be a few years down the line. Stay tuned for more updates and keep an eye out for these fantastic new spots! 👀✨
