Building homes, supporting communities

The Pontprennau development is expected to generate more than £20 million for reinvestment into housing and community initiatives across South Wales. This investment will help support the maintenance and improvement of existing homes, fund future housing projects and strengthen communities throughout the region.
The scheme forms part of a long-term 15-year programme that reflects Sylfaen's commitment to creating lasting value for both homeowners and the wider communities it serves.
