Meridian Gate, Cardiff, Residential tower in Cardiff, United Kingdom
Meridian Gate is a residential tower in downtown Cardiff featuring 21 floors of glass and aluminum construction. The facade uses reflective glass technology throughout its structure to improve energy performance.
The complex was built between 2007 and 2009 as a major housing development for the city center. This project transformed the downtown skyline with its modern residential design.
The tower includes public areas with art installations and a statue honoring a local figure from Cardiff's sporting past. Visitors can find these elements displayed around the building's exterior spaces.
The building offers public areas that are easy to find and sits within walking distance of the city center. Pedestrians can quickly reach all main shops and facilities nearby.
The tower was among the first buildings in Cardiff to use large reflective glass surfaces as a core design feature. This technology was relatively uncommon for residential projects in the region at that time.
