Aberdeen-based Knight Property Group has announced that international consultancy, engineering and project management company, AMEC, is to take occupancy of its newly completed pavilion at CityView Business Park, Aberdeen.
AMEC, which was represented by Cushman & Wakefield, signed a 10 year lease on the 35,852 sq ft modern, high specification development, which includes three floors of open plan office accommodation and 125 parking spaces.
Completion of the commercial property space, the third building on the site, marks the end of the second phase at the business park. AMEC also occupies pavilions one and two on the site on Wellington Road.
Howard Crawshaw, director at Knight Property Group said: “Securing an international company as a tenant at CityView is a testament to the quality of the commercial space on offer and underpins Knight Property Group as a leading developer of speculative office space in the city.”
This March, Knight Property Group gained planning permission for the third and final phase of the site, which will include two buildings at 14,100 sq ft and 17,400 sq ft respectively and will be tailored to fit individual requirements. Work on the final stages has commenced and, upon completion in December 2014 the entire site will be house up to five office pavilions totalling 100,000 sq ft.
He continued: “Demand for high specification office space in Aberdeen city continues to rise and the CityView development aims to meet the needs of new and growing businesses.
“We have had significant interest in CityView and are delighted to have received planning consent for the final two pavilions. Prior to development, the site on Wellington Road was derelict and in need of regeneration, the site has now been transformed into a modern and attractive environment for companies looking for a prime location.”
The project is a joint venture between Knight Property Group and PRUPIM, part of the M&G Group. Ryden and F G Burnett are the joint letting agents for the development and principal contractor for the works is Andrew Cowie Construction.
