A topping out ceremony has been held at the project site, which started construction work in April 2015.
Features include 14,500 sq ft of civic space in front of the historic Provost Skene's House, a mixture of granite and glass in the elevations, two office buildings comprising 173,500 sq ft of Grade A office space with secure parking, seven restaurants and café bars occupying the ground floor space, and a 126-room Residence Inn by Marriott.
The scheme, which is part of the 25-year City Centre Masterplan, is being delivered by Muse Developments and funded by Aviva Investors.

A total of 300 construction jobs have been created by the scheme, with the potential for 1,500 new jobs upon completion in July 2017.
Council Leader Councillor Jenny Laing said: "I'm delighted the Marischal Square development is at the topping out stage as the project is a firm commitment to Aberdeen's city-centre regeneration programme, the City Centre Masterplan.
"The development, and the leading businesses which have signed up so far, are testament to the confidence in the area and the strategic value the City Council places in our economy as we're in an exciting phase of transforming the city."
Morgan Sindall's project director, David Mason, added: "Topping out is a key stage in any construction project and we are very pleased to have reached this stage at Marischal Square. The form of the development is there for all to see now and we are sure that the quality of the design and construction will help to make Marischal Square a thriving part of the city when it opens next year."
