Site 5 sits within Dundee’s award-winning Central Waterfront regeneration, offering a substantial flat plot beside Slessor Gardens and close to the new Dundee Railway Station. Its waterfront position and proximity to the V&A Dundee and city attractions deliver strong profile and footfall potential for mixed commercial and residential schemes. The site benefits from excellent mobile coverage and low flood risk.
This plot is best suited to investors or developers targeting mixed-use city-centre opportunities — ground-floor cafes, restaurants or retail with office or residential above are explicitly envisaged for the area. Dundee Waterfront is a major £1.6 billion regeneration project and attracts more than 1.25 million visitors a year, supporting hospitality and leisure uses.
Buyers should note the site is currently a large, undeveloped construction plot within an active regeneration zone. Tenure details are unknown and the wider area records high deprivation, which will influence demand dynamics and may affect grant or funding opportunities. Broadband provision is average; local transport links and a nearby airport are strong positives.
Overall, Site 5 offers high-profile development potential in a transforming quarter of Dundee, but it requires developer funding, planning clarity and a strategy that factors local socio-economic conditions and existing infrastructure levels.
