A £40 million development of flats, premium office space and a luxury hotel will be the latest phase of Dundee’s ambitious Waterfront scheme.
It will take shape next to the new V&A Museum after Robertson was chosen as the preferred developer to take the project forward.
The chosen site is opposite the new entrance to Dundee’s train station and will see the construction of 67 flats for the private rented sector and 50,000 square feet of Grade A office space.
The 120-bed hotel will form the final part of the scheme and the developers say it will be aimed at the upper end of the visitor market.
Derek Shewan, chief operating officer at Robertson, said: “Dundee Waterfront is an exciting and innovative development project so we are naturally delighted to be selected as preferred developer for this exclusive, flagship development.
“The team behind the Waterfront is ambitious and enthusiastic about this project and we are delighted to be working with them. We are looking forward to delivering something the whole of Scotland can be proud of.”
The private rented sector element of the development will include one, two and three bedroom flats appealing to a wide market including young professionals, couples, families, retired couples and business lets.
The 50,000 sq ft of Grade A office space will extend to four floors of open plan office space, with potential for accommodating a number of uses including back-office, technology, professional services, financial services, public sector organisations or possible call centre users.
Meanwhile, the hotel will help meet the forecast demand for accommodation in the central waterfront as growing numbers visit Dundee.
Mr Shewan added: “This development promises to be a high quality addition to Dundee’s flourishing Waterfront area and we are looking forward to moving on to the next stage of the project.”
