Marischal Square has been named Development of the Year 2018 at the Scottish Property Awards.

The £107m project was awarded the accolade following judging in 15 categories covering the depth and breadth of the best new commercial and public property projects in Scotland over the past year.

The project was also highly commended in the Architectural Excellence category at the awards ceremony in Glasgow on Thursday.

A panel of 20 leading commercial property experts reviewed the entries and described Marischal Square as "a superb use of space in a city centre location and a significant contributor to the Aberdeen economy".

Marischal Square was up against projects such as the Dundee Waterfront development, the new ScottishPower headquarters building in Glasgow and the Quartermile 3 development in Edinburgh city centre.

Councillor Marie Boulton said: "The vision for Marischal Square was to bring an important area at the heart of Aberdeen back to life and it has been fantastic to see that turned into reality.

"The development has attracted prestigious businesses, with those open already trading well and more to follow, and most importantly it is generating footfall in the east end of the city as the public embrace the new leisure opportunities."
