The steel framework of Maker and Faber is visible on the Riverside Sunderland site.
Between them, the buildings will provide 150,000 sq ft of office space and hopefully become ‘home’ to thousands of workers.

Hide AdMaker is a six-storey building that will bring 80,000 sq ft of office space and is set to be completed first.
Faber will stand five-storeys high, delivering 70,000 sq ft. It will be home to 400 staff from RSA, one of the UK’s largest general insurers, who announced their plans to move into the city centre earlier this year.
The steel frames – combining 1,625 tonnes of metal - stand to the north of the new City Hall.
