New market building starts to take shape

As the steel work erections progresses on the new Aberdeen Market building, the shape of the building is beginning to become clearer.

These photographs show how the building, to be called Flint and operated by local hospitality group, McGintys, will be a prominent landmark in the city centre.

Main contractor, Morrison Construction is progressing well with the works, which are on programme.

The steel being used for the development is being supplied by local business, KR Group from Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, as part of the commitment to use local suppliers whenever possible.

The market is a key part of the £150 million City Centre and Beach Master Plan being delivered by Aberdeen City Council
