Balmoral Park, a subsidiary of off-shore engineering company Balmoral Group, has submitted plans for a 300,000 sq ft hotel and business park to the south of Aberdeen.
Balmoral Business Park, next to the company’s headquarters at Loirston, will be developed to link in with the large amount of automotive business in the area.
Auto golden mile
Bill Duguid, managing partner at Ryden who advises Balmoral, says the party of the city is becoming an ‘auto golden mile’ with Audi, BMW, Land Rover and Porsche dealerships nearby.
The 18-acre site, currently used for external storage, will provide 139,500 sq ft of office space.
There will also be 78,050 of industrial units, a 24,905 sq ft auto-showroom/workshop, and a 52,000sq ft, 180-bedroom hotel.
There will also be 800 car parking spaces at the site.
Road development
Jim Milne, managing director of Balmoral Group, said the scheme would also be helped by the opening of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route opens in 2012.
The plans are being considered by Aberdeen City Council.
