SAVILLS Development is bringing a mixed-use development opportunity to the market in Dundee.
Located on Victoria Street, the historic Eagle Mills is set to be transformed. It already has planning permission for a mixed-use scheme on the site, including housing, a nursery, and commercial units.
Niall Macleod, director of Savills Development, said, “Eagle Mills embodies Dundee’s rich industrial heritage. The city’s evolution from ‘Jute, Jam, and Journalism’ to a vibrant hub of bio, life sciences, gaming, tech, and tourism is impressive. Dundee is now an exciting place to live, work, and visit, with a bright future ahead. This is a unique opportunity to create something special on this historic site.”
The former Eagle Mill jute factory extends over approximately 1.7 acres and comprises two main components. The main mill block on Victoria Street, a B-listed building, dates back to 1864 and features a distinctive coursed rubble pattern. The structure was extended in 1930, adding Art Deco elements to its design. The interior boasts iron-framed columns carrying brick arches.
Eagle Mill is said to offer a rare opportunity for loft-style apartments that ‘preserve historical character while providing contemporary comfort’.
The site has detailed planning permission and listed building consent for a mixed-use scheme in two phases, encompassing 68 dwellings, commercial units, and 55 car parking spaces. Phase 1 focuses on converting the listed mill into 34 apartments, a nursery school, and a small café/bakery, along with commercial space and 31 parking spaces. Phase 2 includes an L-shaped new-build block with 34 apartments, a commercial/retail unit, and 24 parking spaces. Eagle Mills also features a basement level, offering around 19,547 sq ft of potential commercial space.
