We're delighted to announce the completion of a vital milestone in the building of the Dunard Centre, set to be the Scottish capital's first purpose-built concert hall in over a century, as well as the SCO's new Edinburgh home.
Piling work has been completed on the site (behind the Royal Bank of Scotland on St Andrew Square), and excavation can now begin for the construction of the basement levels of the new building.
