Top moment for West Port Dundee
A milestone in the £30 million West Port development in Dundee was marked recently when the city’s Lord Provost led an historic topping out ceremony on the roof of the six-storey building. The third phase of the West Marketgait scheme is under construction by Stewart Milne Construction on behalf of Marketgait Developments. It represents a significant link in the overall redevelopment of the west city centre which includes an extension to the Overgate Shopping Centre and a new headquarters building for Dundee City Council. Convener of Dundee City Council's economic development committee, Lord Provost John Letford said: "The redevelopment of this part of the city centre, as well as the central waterfront, is key to delivering our vision of a prosperous, vibrant economy. "The completion of this latest phase of the West Port development, on such a prominent city centre site, will add yet more options to a part of the city that is increasingly attracting successful businesses of all types." West Port is a mix of leisure, commercial and residential accommodation, with two previous phases already complete. Travelodge is operating a 48-bed hotel and a further 30,000 sq ft has been let to games software developer, Realtime Worlds. Within this current phase three, Grosvenor Casinos Ltd has committed to 30,000 sq ft unit for its second G Casino in Scotland. The remainder of the phase has consent for a bar/restaurant operation, 22,000 sq ft office space, a 9,485 sq ft retail unit and 23 serviced residential apartments on the upper floors – a first for Dundee. Bill Imlach, managing director of Stewart Milne Construction said: “We are committed to involvement in Dundee projects, having completed several in the city centre. The West Port scheme is an interesting and challenging one and all credit goes to the Stewart Milne team who have worked hard to meet those challenges and deliver the project in line with the client’s timetable.” At the topping out event Lord Provost Letford, honed his construction skills by completing the rooftop blockwork under the watchful eye of Bill Imlach of Stewart Milne Construction. Commenting on the development, Bruce Linton of Marketgait Developments said: “This is a landmark development for one of Scotland’s most dynamic cities which will provide a second Scottish venue for Grosvenor Casinos and bring a range of high quality commercial and residential accommodation to the city centre. West Port is a key part of the city’s continuing regeneration and one which we are pleased to be delivering.” West Port is due for completion this September. Letting agents for the scheme are Graham + Sibbald. 06 April 2009 |
