AN INVERKEITHING-based firm has landed a contract to deliver a £25m speculative development near Glasgow Airport.

Muir Construction has been appointed by Canmoor as the main contractor for the 13-acre site at Westway which will see the creation of two high-quality industrial/warehouse units.

Alan Muir, Managing Director of Muir Construction said they were delighted to be able to start construction on the site.

"We have extensive experience of industrial developments and look forward to delivering a high quality end product, to meet market demand,” he said.

Gregor King, Canmoor’s Asset Manager at Westway, added: "We are pleased to see Muir Construction start works here at Westway.

"We look forward to bringing this “best in class” sustainable development opportunity to the market over the next year or so. We anticipate strong demand for the space due to the quality of the buildings being developed and the continued strength of the industrial and logistics market in the west coast of Scotland.”
