Swansea Observatory has been put up for sale, and the current owners are looking for a potential buyer who can put forward an "imaginative" proposal for the unique building.
The five-storey building is currently owned by Swansea City Council, but they are looking to sell it as they have been unable to find a suitable tenant for it since Swansea Astronomical Society vacated it two years ago, citing prohibitive rent costs.
The council has set a deadline of the end of March for interested potential buyers to submit proposals for the seafront observatory with financial offers. No guide price has been put on the building, which was built in 1988, and its eventual price will be determined by the plans put forward.
Swansea Council's representative for regeneration, Gareth Sullivan, said that they were keen for the features of the observatory - which include a domed roof, an access tower with a spiral staircase, a stained-glass roof and panels of carved poetry - to be incorporated into new plans for it, but that other proposals would also be considered.
"We'd invite any developers with other imaginative design ideas to get in touch because we don't want to preclude innovative proposals," Sullivan explained. "This building presents an exciting opportunity at a prestigious waterfront location within touching distance of the city centre that offers panoramic views of Swansea Bay."
Established in 1994, these three handsomely presented and fully-equipped unisex hair salons are located in a prominent trading location.
Established vehicle display is located in a Berkshire prominent main toad. The business boats an excellent reputation and customer base.
