A CONSTRUCTION firm has posted on social media showing the progress at a £60m retail park.
Readie Construction, which is working on Stane Retail Park on behalf of Church Manor Estates, has posted an update on Twitter.
The firm said the development is "starting to take shape".
It is set to open this autumn once works are complete.
Stane Retail Park is starting to take shape. This mixed-use retail development in Colchester for The Churchmanor Estates will soon be home to big brands such as @BandQ, @AldiUK & @marksandspencer to name just a few. #LoveConstruction #Construction #ReadieCosntruction #RCL pic.twitter.com/3o6xf8lZcb

The new 173,000 sq ft retail park, about the size of three football pitches, will house a new store for B&Q, an M&S Food Hall and a new Aldi.
As part of the development, Churchmanor is also spending £2.6 million on improvements to the Eight Ash Green A12 roundabout, where a four way traffic signal junction is set to be created.
Roadworks are currently underway on the junction.
DIY giant B&Q is moving from its current home in The Hythe to the new shop, which has been designed with a covered builders yard and improved garden centre.
Its old home is set to become a new Sainsbury’s supermarket for residents of The Hythe.
Aldi will be relocating from its nearby London Road store to the new unit, which is much larger.
Seven other units at the retail park will be available to prospective tenants.
They range in size from 15,000 sq metres to 1,600 sq metres and several have mezzanine floors.
