KNIGHT Property Group has announced completion of construction works on a new showroom and vehicle service facility for TrustFord within the West Tullos Industrial Estate.
The facility, located on a 5.2-acre site at the former Tyseal base, was built by main contractor MTM Construction.
Valued at £10 million, this turnkey development spans 27,976 sq ft and includes 270 parking spaces, along with a two-acre car storage compound to the rear.
The project has been handed over to TrustFord for fit-out and is expected to open its doors in March. The facility will offer new and used vehicle sales, fleet sales and servicing needs for Aberdeen and the broader north east region.
The development has achieved an EPC ‘A’ rating.
The 20-year pre-let agreement emphasises TrustFord’s commitment to the Granite City following a couple of years at a temporary location while the new site was being developed. Expected to generate over 50 jobs, the dealership will boast an inventory of around 300 new and used cars, along with commercial Ford vehicles.
Howard Crawshaw, MD of Knight Property Group, said, “The establishment of TrustFord’s Scottish dealership in Aberdeen marks a transformative development for West Tullos. The completion of this high-quality, sustainable development underlines our commitment to providing TrustFord with an exceptional facility.
“Securing a 20-year pre-let arrangement highlights TrustFord’s commitment to Aberdeen. This new facility is a visually striking addition to the area, reflecting the excellence associated with TrustFord’s brand.”
Stuart Mustoe, TrustFord chief executive, added, “We are all hugely excited about our new site in Aberdeen and look forward to opening our doors in early March. Our investment in this outstanding build reflects our commitment to sustainable properties along with our commitment to offer an outstanding customer experience.
“Our existing Aberdeen team has been expanded in recent weeks to meet the anticipated demand and we all look forward to offering our customers an outstanding experience – whether they are looking for a new vehicle, a service, advice about their fleet or just coming to have a look before buying, the team will be delighted to welcome them.”
