Swansea-based property management agency, RJ Chartered Surveyors, has been instructed to deal with the lettings and overall management of the development in Swansea’s Enterprise Zone.

The square footage per unit ranges from 2,000 sq.ft to 20,000 sq.ft, with opportunities for multi-use units from hospitality and retail to warehousing.
