Ocala Dog Training Facility: 5 Amazing Benefits of Innovative Shipping Container Kennels

Work starts on new homes and business hub at Swansea’s Kings Lane

The development sits behind Beacon Cymru’s Urban Village and marks the latest stage in a wider plan to breathe new life into this part of town. A six‑storey block of flats will be built alongside shipping‑container style units for local traders, with landscaped open space tying the scheme together.

Part of bigger regeneration push

The Kings Lane project is one piece of a much larger jigsaw. Swansea Council and the Welsh Government are backing plans to reconnect the city centre with the River Tawe, including a proposed new transport hub on The Strand near the railway station.

Earlier this month we reported on draft plans for a cultural quarter, market revamp and transport interchange — all designed to pull footfall back into the city centre.

Beacon Cymru: “We hold this area dear”

Rhianydd Jenkins, Executive Director of Development and Growth at Beacon Cymru Group, said:

“We are delighted to be progressing this next phase in our Urban Village development clustered around Swansea High Street and The Strand.

“This is a long‑term regeneration project for us in an area we hold dear; we’re pleased to be making it possible for more people and businesses to base themselves in this vibrant part of the city centre.”

Beacon Cymru are also leading the redevelopment of the former Castle Cinema into a mix of homes, offices and a restaurant overlooking Swansea Castle.

Council leader: “Boost for homes and jobs”

Cllr Rob Stewart, Swansea Council Leader, said:

“We’re delighted to support this next stage of regeneration in the city centre. This development will provide affordable homes and space for small local businesses, helping to bring new activity and confidence to the Kings Lane and Strand area.

“By working with Beacon Cymru and other partners, we’re continuing to heavily invest in the city centre to create opportunities for people who live and work in Swansea.”

Completion due in 2027

The Kings Lane scheme is expected to be finished in early 2027, adding to the transformation already underway across High Street and The Strand.

How cool is this?! Just been down the Pinterest rabbit hole searching cool conversions. Food trucks, shipping containers... the hole is deep people. If you have things to do today, then maybe don't follow my lead. Be careful out here! #CoolConversions #FoodStalls #FoodTrucks #ShippingContainers #OffGrid #Pinterest

On the outsite there is a sweeping ornate staircase on the right hand side leading up to a small terrace on top of the container with some tables, chairs and a parasol.

Shipping Containers set to ‘transform Porthcawl’s seaside economy’

Located in Hillsboro South Car Park, Porthcawl, the development consists of five shipping containers that have been converted for retail use. The units will provide a low-risk opportunity for small businesses to take their first step into the commercial rental market.

The council says that business owners who are interested in renting the pop-up space must meet selective criteria including providing evidence that their business can act as an attractor throughout the year for visitors from outside Porthcawl to support its role as a tourist destination.

Councillor Neelo Farr, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economic Development and Housing, said: “This innovative enterprise is a fantastic opportunity to support business owners to establish and grow their business, with flexible terms that will eventually allow them to move into permanent premises elsewhere in Porthcawl.

“With over 30 Expressions of Interest received so far, this is an exciting way to boost the profile of Porthcawl as a tourist destination and enhance the area for residents and visitors alike.”

Here's How #ShippingContainers Shaped The Modern World
Malcom McLean, founder #SeaLandService had the brilliant idea to standardize shipping, so that materials could easily be fitted on to ships, transferred to trucks, and then brought to distribution centers or directly to customers. Now containers are so common they often blend into background, but these humble 20 or 40ft metal boxes are a recent invention, and we can thank (or curse) them for creating the modern world.

#PeoplesPark site owned by #UCBerkeley attracts dozens of amped up #activists and potentially hundreds of law enforcement officers with a 24 hr #CalDining catering contingent capable of feeding over 1000 meals a day to support securing site listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

#UniversityOfCalifornia claims new #housing plans for bldgs to shelter 1200 preserves open space, and honors park's 55 yr legacy is also desperately needed, at a blighted location where crime has escalated around a filthy & oft dangerous tent encampment.

#Protesters refuse to join #GovernorNewsom and city leaders in support of #construction on symbolic site of #resistancia that has been held in limbo while awaiting a #California #SupremeCourt case that has not as yet even heard any #OralArguments.

#BerkeleyU sent out an announcement this morning telling #CampusCommunity members to avoid the "affected area" for at least next 6 days while the stacking of #ShippingContainers around perimeter of long contested vacant lot begins

The situation is bound to escalate into chaotic confrontations, vexing violence and perpetual public disturbances, as it always has over previous decades, in which blood has been shed, and life was once taken by #police buckshot fired at furious citizenry.

This is a step in the right direction, but we also need to shorten supply chains.

Made folks jumpy and filled them with doubt
So they shipped in a wall
Of cargo containers tall
To try to keep bullets from flying out
