Ogilvie Construction has started work on a £11 million project to build a new development in Aberdeen for SACO The Serviced Apartment Company.
The nine storey building on Union Street will include studio and one bedroom apartments grouped around internal courtyards. It will incorporate a café bar on the ground floor with the apartment reception on the first floor. The project is due to be completed in Autumn 2016.
The new building will transform the site of a former music shop, which ceased trading several years ago.
