Civic trust award for SMC project

The development at West Port, Dundee which Stewart Milne Construction completed in the autumn of 2009 is to receive a Dundee Civic Trust commendation.

The third phase of the West Marketgait scheme it represents a significant link in the overall redevelopment of the west city centre which includes new headquarters building for Dundee City Council.

West Port is a mix of leisure, commercial and residential accommodation: the two previous phases included the conversion of a historic mill building and the works, carried out by SMC provided a 48 bedroom Travelodge and 30,000 sq ft of workspace. Within this current phase, Grosvenor Casinos Ltd occupies 30,000 sq ft. The remainder provides accommodation 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.”

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 provides 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 deliver.”
