Legal & General's Sir Nigel Wilson praises Sunderland regeneration scheme

One of the country’s most prominent business leaders has hailed a North East regeneration project as he attended the scheme’s ‘topping out’ ceremony.

Sir Nigel Wilson, chief executive of investment and pensions group Legal & General, joined civic and business leaders in Sunderland for the event at the Maker and Faber buildings on the Riverside Sunderland development.

The buildings – which are part of Legal & General’s £100m investment in the Sunderland scheme – will provide 150,000 sq ft of Grade A space for professional services firms. Steel frames for the buildings have been erected, and they are set to open next year.
