A prime city-centre development plot at 54 Gallowgate, Aberdeen, offers a cleared site with planning in principle for up to 140 private residential units. Two approved illustrative schemes provide flexibility: a maximised 140-unit layout (mainly studios and one-beds) or an optimised 115-unit mix including family-sized apartments and limited three-bed units. The consent has been extended for five years following a successful Section 42 application, giving time to progress detailed proposals.
The site sits adjacent to Bon Accord Shopping Centre and within 200m of Marischal Square, close to North East Scotland College and key leisure and transport hubs. Top floors in the approved massing face east and can deliver sea views; the plot is large and fully cleared, reducing demolition lead time. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, and the immediate area contains a mix of residential and commercial uses supportive of city-centre living.
Considerations for an investor include the surrounding area’s socio-economic profile and regeneration context: the locale is described as deprived in parts, though nearby civic and retail investment has strengthened demand. The planning is private-only (no affordable housing obligation) which simplifies delivery for a private scheme, but build costs, detailed design, and market absorption should be assessed. Alternative uses such as office space could be explored subject to consent.
