Where Sand

Meets Land

Meets Life

Swansea city centre is a major urban transformation project, with over £1 billion being invested across the city, allowing Swansea to realise its potential as one of the most vibrant places to live, work, visit and study in the UK. Copr Bay is at the forefront of the city’s ambitious regeneration programme.

Copr Bay Phase One is being funded and developed by Swansea Council, with the arena element of the scheme being part-funded by the Swansea Bay City Deal. The Swansea Bay City Deal is a £1.3 billion investment fund that includes funding from the UK and Welsh Governments and the private sector for major transformation projects in this region of South Wales.

Plans for phase one include...

Culture

A 3,500 capacity state-of-the-art arena to be operated on a long-term basis by global theatre leaders, The Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG).

Neighbourhood

New homes in the heart of the city.

From our spectacular beach and historical landmarks, to our world-leading universities and institutions, Swansea provides a wealth of opportunity that has been undervalued for too long. Alongside the other transformative projects taking place across the city, Copr Bay is a missing piece of the jigsaw that will attract more people to the city centre, and greatly strengthen our economic buoyancy.
