The national chain, who currently have premises at Alexandra House near the train station, has submitted a ‘Change of Use’ planning application to Swansea Council to use Unit B at the council’s new office development at 71/72 Kingsway as an optical clinic with an aesthetics clinic located within.
The council, who also own the recently constructed building, have already announced that travel operator TUI and workspace provider IWG are to take up tenancies. TUI are currently also based at Alexandra House.
A Swansea Council spokesperson said: “Positive discussions with Optical Express about taking up one of the retail units that fronts onto The Kingsway as part of the development are ongoing.
“We hope to make an announcement in the coming weeks.
“Flexible workspace provider IWG and travel and leisure company TUI have already been confirmed as scheme tenants for the main office spaces area of the building, and details of other tenants will be publicised as soon as talks are finalised.”
Swansea Bay News has approached Optical Express for comment on the application.
