ETZ powers Aberdeen industrial property take-up
Aberdeen’s Energy Transition Zone (ETZ) accounted for 35% of the city’s take-up from industrial occupiers last year, reju- venating the city’s southside and helping to deliver the third best year of the last decade. During 2024, there were 768,000 sq. ft. of industrial take-up in Aberdeen across 97 deals – well ahead of the 10-year average of 690,000 sq. ft. It was the third strongest year since 2015 – only 2022 and 2023 were higher – continuing the post-pandemic surge in the sector.
Availability of space fell to 2 million sq. ft. for the first time in recent years, drop- ping from 2.5 million sq. ft. during 2023 as increased deal activity ate away at supply. Around 200,000 sq. ft. of this is currently under offer, suggesting vacancy rates could test new lows in 2025. Dyce has the highest share of vacant space at 31%, while Altens and East Tullos repre- sented a further 23%. Westhill continues to be one of the most popular industrial locations in the region, with historically low vacancy figures.
Hurstwood Holdings submits planning application for £15 million industrial park near Aberdeen Airport
Arrowmere Capital, part of the Hurstwood Holdings Group, has submitted a planning application for a new £15 million indus- trial park in Dyce, Aberdeen. The proposed scheme, designed by RGP Architects, will deliver 80,000 sq ft of high-quality indus- trial and warehouse space across five mod- ern units, ranging in size from 10,000 sq ft to 18,000 sq ft. Situated on a 12-acre site within the well-established Kirkhill Industrial Estate in Dyce, near Aberdeen Airport, the development will bring much-needed, state- of-the-art industrial accommodation to the area. Hurstwood Holdings acquired the site formerly home to The Quad and previously known as Craigievar House in 2023.
The proposed development underscores Hurstwood Holdings commitment to deliv- ering high-quality industrial schemes and supporting economic growth in key regional locations. The Group already has a substantial presence in Aberdeen totalling more than 1 million sq ft including the two Aberdeen Innovation and Energy Parks.
