  • Empty Dundee offices to be turned into flats

Empty offices in Dundee city centre are to be turned into flats under new plans.



Dundee planners have given the nod to the Commercial Street proposal subject to several minor conditions.

The application was tabled by AKG Property Group, of the Nethergate, for 21-23 Commercial Street for six two-bedroom flats and one four bedroom flat for HMO use (house of multiple occupants).

However, the ground floor shops will be kept as retail units.

Plans for the building were drawn up by Dundee architect Jon Frullani.



They were given full approval at the latest Dundee City Council planning meeting.

One of the conditions is that work must start within three years of consent being granted.

South Lanarkshire Council - which owns the site - said it wanted to encourage residents to walk and cycle.

The project will be funded via support from Scottish Government Vacant and Derelict Land Fund.

The site sits north of existing homes and the former St Leonard’s Primary School - which is currently being redeveloped for residential purposes.
