Turnstone Estates selected the firm for the scheme which is part of Colchester Borough Council's Northern Gateway. HG Construction will start work on the 200,000 sq ft scheme in February 2022 with completion scheduled for the autumn of 2023.
Natalie Greig, Associate Director of Turnstone Estates, said: "We are delighted to reach this stage of the project and be starting work on site. Our fantastic line up of operators are raring to go and we are confident that HG will help us deliver a state-of-the-art leisure scheme for Colchester."

Conor Rice, Managing Director, HG Construction, said: "We are pleased to be partnering with Turnstone Estates to help deliver this exciting new scheme for Colchester. We are confident it will make a positive addition to the local area, and we look forward to getting started soon."
Planning approval for the 200,000 sq ft leisure scheme, located south of Junction 28 of the A12, was granted by Colchester Borough Council in December 2020.
