- Landscaped setting with pond and sustainable urban drainage

- Tenure unknown — confirm during due diligence
- Located in a very deprived area; affects tenant mix and funding
- Close to rail, road links and Dundee Airport (short drive)
Site 17 occupies a prominent plot in the award-winning Dundee Central Waterfront regeneration area, immediately adjacent to Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa and close to the Customs House and Holiday Inn Express. The cleared development parcel is suitable for up to six-storey commercial, office, hospitality or exhibition/conference use and benefits from a high-quality landscaped setting with a pond that forms part of the Sustainable Urban Drainage scheme. Excellent mobile signal, proximity to rail and road links, and a short drive to Dundee Airport strengthen the site’s connectivity.
This is a large, strategic development opportunity aimed at developers or investors targeting mixed commercial or hospitality schemes. Vehicular servicing access will need to be delivered from the south-east; developers should allow for that planning/engineering requirement. Tenure details are not provided and should be confirmed early in any due diligence. Flood risk is recorded as none.
Notable local context: the wider area is undergoing extensive regeneration, attracts over a million visitors annually and sits within a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood. However, the immediate catchment is recorded as very deprived, which has implications for tenancy mix, operator selection and grant/funding opportunities. Broadband speeds are average; on-site drainage benefits from sustainable urban drainage features.
In short, Site 17 is a high-profile, well-located development plot with clear commercial and hospitality potential, but it requires further site-specific investigations around access arrangements, tenure and local socioeconomic considerations before acquisition or planning submission.
