Morgan Sindall is to create 300 construction jobs during building work on the transformative mixed-use Marischal Square development in Aberdeen city centre.

Appointed by developer and urban regeneration specialist Muse Developments to construct the £107m development, Morgan Sindall has moved on to site to deliver the two-year construction programme.

Marischal Square, which is fully funded by Aviva Investors, will deliver a vibrant new mixed-use quarter for the city and include Grade 'A' office space with associated car parking, a four-star hotel, cafés, restaurants and civic space, along with public access, landscaping and public realm improvements around a site once dominated by the former Aberdeen City Council headquarters building St. Nicholas House.

The development will create 300 jobs during the construction phase, with 1,500 jobs available when the development of offices, Residence Inn by Marriott hotel and the bar/restaurant space is fully completed and occupied in 2017. That level of staffing in the development will also help sustain a significant number of jobs in the city centre area.
