West End Yard is a commercial development scheme in Llanelli town centre, project managed by The Means for sister company Means Renewal.

Located at an important strategic gateway to the town, this difficult infill site has defied other efforts to bring it back into beneficial use. The Means has:

• Appointed and managed the design consultants
• Packaged finance including negotiating grant support through the County Council's Sustainable Llanelli pot and Welsh Assembly Government property development grant
• Secured development finance through a Swedish Bank
• Navigated the regulatory hurdles - Flood Consequence Assessment, Planning Approval, BREEAM excellence standard
• Prepared a Sustainable Travel Plan
• Tendered and selected the Design and Build team

Through collaboration with the Design Research Unit at Cardiff University, the building will achieve the lowest carbon footprint in the town.
