packages render the space of continued tenant interest in this competitive market. The’ hands on’ approach adopted by the Landlord, Waterloo Quay Properties, is unusual and important in today’s clinical marketplace. WQP are themselves based in the complex and have carefully assembled a skilled on-site team to address tenant needs. Once based at Waterloo


Quay, most tenants do not wish to relocate. The majority have been based there for many years. The prominent Harbour location is of significant attraction to a sector of the market and the complex is also within a short walk of key retail and leisure facilities. Last year, the Landlord embarked on


their most ambitious project to date. The ‘new’ Horizons House development, extending to a further 59,000 sq.ft was created behind a traditional granite façade. Completed in January this year, the majority of this striking Grade A building was pre-let to DOF Subsea, although there is still an opportunity for further tenants to secure space in the


building upwards of 2,750 sq.ft. Future plans for the estate include


another Grade A office development extending to 30,000 sq.ft. incorporating the existing Grade B listed building, Merchants House As many will be aware, Aberdeen is


currently experiencing its toughest commercial market in many years. When the going gets tough, the tough get going! With Waterloo Quay Properties, they relish the questions and always try to provide the answer. Contact the Aberdeen office of
