NEW OFFICES OPEN AT LLYS Y BARCUD

A new office complex has been completed in Cross Hands with the support of the Property Development Fund which funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government.

The development at Llys y Barcud, Cross Hands Business Park, was developed by Enzo’s Lettings and built by Enzo’s Homes (Wales) Ltd to the cost of almost £955,000. The PDF grant received was £429,295.88.

The development, which was designed by Sauro Architectural Design, achieved a BREEAM Very Good with excellent energy rating. The offices can accommodate up to 54 jobs and 12 businesses.

Enzo Sauro, of Enzo’s Lettings said: “It is a development of 12 new offices and two are already occupied by Cycle Specific and Lovell’s Rugby. Enquiries are now coming in regularly. It has good access to the M4.

“The Property Development Fund grant has enabled me to complete the build of the two office blocks.”

Council executive board member for regeneration and leisure Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “I am pleased that the South West Wales Property Development Fund has been able to help bring this scheme to fruition. It is providing high quality office space in Cross Hands and part of that space has already been occupied soon after completion of the site. Companies that base themselves here will have the benefit of good transport links.”

The South West Wales consortium of local authorities, (Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea) is working in partnership with the Welsh Government to deliver a Property Development Fund, administered by Carmarthenshire County Council in its role as lead body.

The scheme provides financial assistance for the construction of industrial and commercial property with the primary aim of creating capacity for employment in selected strategic areas of South West Wales.
