The scheme comprises a raft of innovative technologies to develop a first in kind ‘living tower’ in the centre of Swansea. Such technologies include, rainwater harvesting, heat storage utilising the sprinkler tanks, roof top green houses and innovative heat transfer techniques throughout the building.

Included within the building will be a floor or retail, 3 floors of commercial space, 8 floors of apartments (all designated for social housing), roof gardens and green houses, along with community spaces.

 

Works are currently progressing well with completion penned for the Autumn of 2024
