Aberdeen city centre regeneration plans lodged
Aberdeen Indoor Market & old Union Street BHS to be knocked down.
Plans to regenerate part of Aberdeen City Centre are being submitted to the City Council today.
It would see Aberdeen Indoor Market on the Green, and the old BHS on Union Street knocked down to make way for offices, bars and restaurants.
Shaun Hose, director of PATRIZIA, said: "Our plans have incorporated feedback from the public consultation and the Council’s planning team and we’re satisfied that we now have the best design and lay-out for the site which match the public’s aspiration for the city centre and the current demand for different types of office space, retail and leisure outlets.
"They will reinvigorate this part of Union Street, Hadden Street and the Green, injecting much needed diversity and vibrancy that will enhance the quality of life for those living in and visiting the city centre and deliver a long-term sustainable solution for the site."
Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive of Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, added: "The indoor market is identified as a key project in the City Centre Masterplan and redevelopment of the area will be yet another significant step forward in the ongoing transformation and revitalisation of our city.
"Not only will it give a new lease of life to this part of the Merchant Quarter, the mix of retail and leisure will complement the existing offering in the area and help draw people back into the city centre."
