One of the oldest buildings in Dundee docks is set to be brought back into use.
Dundee entrepreneurs Chris van der Kuyl and Paddy Burns have revealed their plans to revamp Shed 25 at the old Camperdown and Victoria Dock.
They have applied to Dundee City Council for permission to turn the unit into an office and leisure facility, including a new restaurant and cafe.
The developers hope their proposals will play a major part in the plans for a new marina at Camperdown Dock, part of the £1 billion waterfront project.
Mr van der Kuyl said: “The proposal is to convert the existing sheds into a mixed-use development including offices and leisure facilities, serving the proposed marina in Camperdown Dock.
“We are confident the local authority will approve the plans and if they do we hope to begin work on the development as soon as possible.
“We can’t put a timescale on it yet but we are hoping that work could begin within weeks.”
He said 11 offices were planned and they were hopeful that they would quickly find businesses that would be interested in moving in.
He said: “This is a very exciting development for us and we hope it will work well alongside the new marina that is proposed down at the docks.”
He said this was a new venture for the pair, who are well-known in the city for their involvement in the computer games and technology industry.
Their own business will be one of the main tenants of the new development.
Category B-listed Shed 25, between Camperdown Dock and Victoria Dock, is the oldest surviving transit shed in Dundee.
The building comprises the eastern bay by Camperdown Dock, which was completed in 1865, and the later extension built to the west in 1880/90.
The building was primarily used for storage, including exporting cattle to the British Army on the Rhine during the Second World War.
The sheds were laid out with pens for inspecting and managing cattle.
