Development opportunity
If you are looking for an exceptional development opportunity close to Aberdeen city centre this substantial former office complex is sure to catch your eye. Within close proximity to Aberdeen University, this site offers huge development potential The property is currently arranged over three/four floors, extending to approximately 4,069 sq. Metres, and is formed of two principal blocks connected via an enclosed walkway. Most recently, the premises were occupied by the Health and Safety Executive, VisitScotland, and the Met Office, and are now offered with vacant possession
The site benefits from a pre-planning application approved by Aberdeen City Council under Reference 250101/preapp, outlining a proposal to develop up to 70 residential units. Given its proximity to the University and strong local demand for student and private accommodation, this property offers excellent potential for conversion to residential, mixed-use, or purpose-built student housing (subject to full planning approval).
In total, there are 58 on-site parking spaces, alongside a ground-floor garage. A portion of the parking area and the garage is currently let on an informal (non-income producing) basis, with the remainder of the parking managed by a third-party parking provider, again producing only nominal income. Both arrangements can be terminated with one month’s notice.
Situated in a well-connected area close to the University of Aberdeen, the property enjoys convenient access to King Street, Old Aberdeen, and the city centre. The location is well-served by public transport links and local amenities, making it an ideal position for future residential use or a modernised commercial development.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, flexibility, and outstanding potential of this landmark property. Please note that the property is elected for VAT.
Lord Cullen House enjoys convenient location approximately 1.5 miles from Aberdeen city centre. A range of facilities are available locally, with a fuller range in the nearby city centre. Aberdeen beach is close by, and the property also offers close proximity to Aberdeen University.
