Architects for landmark Dundee Office development chosen
Unicorn Property Group are delighted to announce that Comprehensive Design Architects (CDA) of Moray Place in Edinburgh have been selected to design a landmark office development on the former site of HMS Camperdown at City Quay.
Dundee's Maritime Quarter around City Quay is becoming the most attractive site in the region for offices, as the City Quay regeneration gathers pace. The announcement that CDA will be designing this important building on the banks of the Tay is a cause for excitement.
CDA enjoy a reputation for innovative yet practical design and were the architects on the recent development of Holyrood Park House in Edinburgh, near to the Scottish Parliament. They also were the designers of new building for The Scotsman newspaper, also in the capital, and in 2006 received the British Council for Offices National Award for their design of Skyways House, the HQ of Littlewoods, in Speke, Merseyside.
Whilst the eventual design of the building is only now taking shape, it is anticipated to consist of around 100,000 sqft split over a number of floors providing high quality flexible open plan offices, enjoying dramatic views over the Tay to Fife and over the Victoria Dock to the City of Dundee.
"This multi million pound project will be our most ambitious yet," says Unicorn director, Tim Allan, "We are looking to provide a wide range of floor plates to suit potential tenants. We would anticipate a combination of prestige offices, high end leisure and restaurant units to meet the demands of the growing commercial and residential market at City Quay. Tenants will have a one off opportunity to gain access to the highest quality premises in a remarkable position, built to the highest standards".
With integral parking, convenient location and outstanding communication links, Unicorn Property Group and CDA hope that in due course the Camperdown site will become the location of choice for companies and organisations looking for a unique waterfront location in the heart of Dundee.
