Seletar Shipping announce new Aberdeen development
Seletar Shipping which own a significant quayside property portfolio, has recently announced plans for an ambitious new 46,500 sq ft office development on the site of the existing Horizons House at Waterloo Quay, Aberdeen.
International property consultancy, Knight Frank, has been awarded the contract to design, project manage and market the proposed new office building to be known as New Horizons House, which subject to planning, will be available for occupation by the end of 2008.
The development comprises around 46,500 sq ft of Grade A office space with integral car parking over six levels. The new open plan office accommodation is available for lease in individual floor plates ranging from 7,500 sq ft to 14,000 sq ft or in combinations of up to a maximum of 46,500 sq ft. The 4th floor and ground floor space is already "under offer" and significant interest has already been expressed in the remainder, despite the lack of a formal marketing campaign.
Seletar Shipping is keen to ensure that the building is environmentally conscious and will incorporate energy efficient design to minimise the building's carbon footprint and recycling facilities for each floor. Additional features will include full curtain walling at 3rd & 4th floor levels incorporating a roof terrace to both floors, and a full height central atrium featuring a bespoke Helical staircase and water feature. There will also be a catering concession on the 2nd floor overlooking the entrance foyer.
The building will also be fully DDA compliant. Two levels of integral car park offer a generous car parking ratio of one space for every 350 sq ft.
New Horizons House is close to a range of amenities, including the bus and train station and the new Union Square Retail/Leisure Development, the Boulevard Retail Park and the Beach Leisure Centre. Seletar also provide a courtesy bus service which operates between the Waterloo Quay development and the city centre, for use of the occupiers of the development.
Katherine Monro, Agency Partner at Knight Frank said, "This is an exciting development that will add to the ongoing regeneration of Aberdeen Harbour as well as create much needed quality office space in the City. Strong interest has already been expressed by companies involved in the Marine Industry and also by the professional sector looking to relocate from the more traditional West End where there is a current dearth of quality product."
Shaun Eardley, managing director of Seletar Shipping (Scotland) Limited, said: "We are delighted to have announced this new development, which will be the result of an £11 million investment by Seletar.
"We have redeveloped a significant proportion of the office buildings on Waterloo Quay since first branching into quayside property rental in 2003, and are pleased to be able to further enhance the area with this latest project. We look forward to continuing to contribute to the harbour area's current regeneration."
