The Wyvern House project in Inverness city centre has reached the highest point of construction.

Representatives from Morrison Construction were joined by dignitaries from The Highland Council and the Highland Housing Alliance to celebrate the milestone on Friday, 11 October.

The Provost of Inverness, Cllr Helen Carmichael, cut through the strap linking the tower crane to the roof of the development.

When complete, the development will boast 37 new one and two-bedroom flats for rent along with commercial units when complete.


Donald McLachlan, Managing Director of Morrison Construction Highland, said: "I am delighted to be able to welcome our partners to site for this significant milestone in the Wyvern House project.

"Since the installation of the tower crane in July progress has been swift. With the steel frame complete and enveloping works underway the public can now appreciate how this fantastic development will fit into the city centre of Inverness."

The Provost of Inverness, Cllr Helen Carmichael added: "This is an important milestone for the project and I am delighted to see how well work on the new homes is progressing. Having quality affordable homes for people to live in at this prime site will transform Academy Street and the surrounding area and complements all the other projects that are going on to regenerate this part of our city."

Work began in April this year and is expected to be delivered by Morrison Construction next summer.
