Reigart Contracts have been appointed to carry out enabling works to facilitate the project. The company will be responsible for environmental works, which will see the building stripped back to its concrete frame.

David Kilgour, Whiteburn Project's Director said: "It is fantastic to finally be in a position to commence works on site. Reigart are an experienced and excellent contractor, who we are looking forward to working with again."

Eve McCurrich, a VOX representative, said: "VOX Dundee will offer people an opportunity to live in this purpose designed and built and professionally managed rental community."

Completion is scheduled for 2019.
