WORK has started on a multi-million pound commercial property development which will create 130 jobs.

The speculative Greensquare scheme, at Kirkleatham Business Park, Redcar, east Cleveland, will provide offices and industrial units, and the first phase will see the construction of nine office blocks and eight light industrial units.

The project, due to be completed in October, is being carried out by Ravensworth Property Developments and is being funded by regional development agency One NorthEast, through the Tees Valley Partnership.

The buildings in the first phase are being targeted primarily at small and medium-sized businesses.
