The introduction of the Aberdeen West Peripheral Route (AWPR) in February 2019 has further improved accessibility across various parts of the city in particular Dyce. The route was Scotland’s largest construction project costing £745 million to construct the 58 km (36 mile) road. This has already significantly improved commuter journey times in and around the city.

In close proximity to the subjects, Aberdeen’s new exhibition and conference centre – the P&J Live Arena - opened in August 2019. The total development cost £335 million and the total offering is a 15,000 arena capacity with 48,000 sq m of flexible event space, 7 conference spaces able to accommodate 5,000 people, 350 on site hotel bedrooms and 150 seat restaurant.

Aberdeen International Airport has recently undergone a £20 million expansion, adding 50% extra area to the previous terminal, further extending the excellent connectivity offering to the rest of the UK and Europe.

The city will be bolstered by the introduction of an ‘energy transition zone’, which will be allocated £26m by the Scottish government to help the transition from oil and gas jobs to green energy. Planned projects include manufacturing for floating offshore wind farms, a skills academy and facilities for testing hydrogen power. The Aberdeen Energy Transition Zone (ETZ) is being built south of Aberdeen harbour and is expected to directly support 2,500 green jobs by 2030, alongside a further 10,000 transition-related jobs.

Aberdeen is Scotland’s third largest city and is widely considered to be the energy capital of Europe. Historically known as ‘The Granite City’, Aberdeen is a vibrant, creative and ambitious city, known for its historic charm and cosmopolitan community. The City is the administrative centre for the north east of Scotland, with an estimated population of 220,000 people and a further catchment population in excess of 500,000 people.

Aberdeen is a harbour city on Scotland’s North-East coast, approximately 125 miles (201 km) north of Edinburgh, 145 miles (234 km) north of Glasgow and 540 miles (878 km) north of London. The city has strong communication links with the rest of Scotland and the UK. The A90 trunk road links Aberdeen with the Scottish motorway network, making Edinburgh and Glasgow accessible in just over two hours.

(Invest Aberdeen)

One of the main factors for the high-quality education and low unemployment rates is the provision of further education in the city, with The University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University listed as 25th and 95th respectively in the Times Higher Education Best Universities 2020.

The city benefits from a further seven major research institutions, ensuring a strong provision of talented and educated workforce to local businesses.

ABERDEEN OCCUPATIONAL MARKET


• Despite challenging market conditions, take up for 2020 totalled 424 797 sq ft. Although this is down from 2019’s total of 505,710 sq ft, it is 11.3% above the five year average and represents the City’s second best year for office take up since the oil price crash. Aberdeen is all too familiar with economic disruption and it is perhaps it is the City’s resolve and resilience that explains how it has managed to successfully navigate both a global pandemic and oil price fluctuations, delivering some overall positive end of year figures. The year ended on a relative high with Q4 take up reaching 155,926 sq ft. It is worth noting the largest deal of the year was in Q4 with BP committing to a new 102,000 sq ft new North Sea HQ at Aberdeen International Business Park, Dyce, a short distance from the subject property.

• The total number of deals in 2020 was 53 down from 84 in 2019. The average letting size was therefore c 8,000 sq ft, with the median at c 3,000 sq ft.

• The Aberdeen office market is understandably in an area of uncertainty and recovery and will ultimately depend on the true impact of both COVID 19 and challenges in the energy sector. There is no doubt the demand for office space will change across the city and nationally post COVID 19 as organisations look to reduce office footprint and staff work on a more flexible basis. Although Q1 2021 appears to be off to a slow start, with only 28,902 sq ft of transactions completing, we are encouraged by the fact that there is currently approximately 200,000 sq ft of active requirements which could translate to potential future take up across the city.
