The Ferrara Tower, part of the Meridian Quay development currently under construction near the Marriott Hotel in the Maritime Quarter, Swansea is set to be the tallest building in Swansea and Wales at 107m.[1] The Ferrara Tower will have 29 storeys, double the number of the current tallest building in Swansea, the BT Tower. Ferrara Tower will be the tallest building in Wales upon completion, although a taller proposal has been granted planning permission at Bay Pointe in Cardiff[1] 'Ferrara Tower' appears to be a working title for the building, other working names in use include 'Meridian Tower' and 'Oceangate Tower'.
On 26th January 2008, one of the construction workers died after falling three stories from the tower. The construction company, Carillion, chose not to release his name.
