COMMERCIAL property consultancy Knight Frank has become the first tenant to secure office space in a newly refurbished building in Aberdeen’s west end.
The deal sees Knight Frank’s north east team move from its former offices on Albert Street to 3-5 Albyn Place, which has been upgraded by developer Surplus Property Solutions. The property consultancy has leased 980 sq. ft. and occupies the ground floor.
The building combines a traditional granite façade and a three-storey extension to the rear, with the recent investment boosting the green credentials to an EPC ‘A’ rating. Upgrades include a new air conditioning system, LED lighting, and EV charging points, as well as a new business lounge, breakout spaces, and reception area.
Knight Frank said it was attracted to the high quality of the space on offer, which will allow its team of 10 to work more efficiently and collaboratively, combined with the property’s boosted environmental performance.
Matt Park, partner at Knight Frank Aberdeen, said, “3-5 Albyn Place offered us an excellent office environment and provides us with room for expansion, with the bonus of the business lounge a real attraction suited to the way we work. We hope our staff and clients will enjoy our new home.”
Mark McQueen, partner at Shepherds, acting on behalf of the landlord, added, “We are delighted to have secured Knight Frank at 3-5 Albyn Place. The building provides high quality, open plan, EPC A-rated office accommodation creating a modern working environment for occupiers. We are receiving good levels of interest in the development and expect further occupiers within the property shortly.”
