From an empty department store to an award-winning civic destination, Y Storfa continues to demonstrate the transformative power of regeneration.
The project has now been recognised at two of Wales’ leading industry awards:
Insider Wales Property Awards 2026
+ Fit Out / Refurbishment of the Year
RICS Awards Wales 2026
+ Public Sector Award
+ Project of the Year
Led by City & County of Swansea Council and delivered by Kier Group, Y Storfa has breathed new life into the former BHS building on Oxford Street, creating a vibrant civic hub that brings together Swansea Central Library, Housing Options, Careers Wales, Citizens Advice, West Glamorgan Archive Service and other essential community services under one roof.
Working collaboratively with City & County of Swansea, Kier Group, GWP Architecture, Stantec and the wider project team, Coreus provided NEC Project Manager, NEC Supervisor, Cost Consultant, Party Wall Surveyor, Principal Designer and SKA Assessor services, helping to transform an underutilised city centre asset into a sustainable, accessible destination that will serve the Swansea community for years to come.
