Gateshead construction company Tolent has secured a £2.1m deal to build a new Aldi supermarket in Newcastle.
The firm is carrying out the contract for the new retail store at Kingston Park for The Hanro Group. Tolent is designing and building the new 14,000sqft store at the retail park, where the structural steel frame is now taking shape.
The company is also constructing a new delivery yard as well as an extension and reconfiguration of existing parking bays. The project, which also aims to improve pedestrian crossing routes, has involved the demolition of buildings which housed businesses, including Peacock and Poundstretcher stores and Luciano’s Italian Restaurant, some of which had been vacant for some time after being impacted by the economic downturn caused by the pandemic.
