PROJECT:

This project features a popular mixed-use development featuring a combination of Retail, F&B, Leisure, Car Park and Landscaping. Other works includes the expansion and regeneration of the existing town square and indoor market. The new development works created 25 retail units, 900 space purpose-built shoppers' car park, new public amenity spaces and 6-screen multiplex cinema. This project was completed in 2010 and achieved BREEAM 'Excellent' accreditation.

SCOPE OF SERVICES:

Simons were the project architect through the project and was the BREEAM assessor.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES:

The design aim was to create an urban extension that blends with the existing town and act as a catalyst for the existing retail and leisure marketplace. The new development included bringing in major anchor stores, cinema and car parking in the centre of Carmarthen, bringing in much needed investment and capital to the area. The primary design objective and requirement from the local authority was to ensure that the new development works seamlessly integrated with the existing urban grain and improve connections. This also included the refurbishment and expansion of the existing indoor market and town square to the south.
