"Work on site has started on the first phase of the SRQ, which includes 160,000 sq ft of office space and around 57,500 sq feet of retail space. HSBC has signed as the anchor tenant on a 15-year lease which commits a vitally important employer to the city centre. Main construction activity is due to start shortly with completion of the building and new public realm is due in the first half of 2019."
BAM Construction Director Kelvin Pollard said: "It's a demanding and complex scheme, requiring a well-developed suite of skills and expertise, and a modern approach to technology and collaboration."
