When Lois Simpson moved from her home town of Arbroath to develop her career as a personal trainer in Aberdeen, she needed to find a home that would suit her busy lifestyle.
The peaceful but well-connected location of Forbes Place by Dandara Living at Stoneywood had Lois sold on the first visit, and she moved into a studio apartment in January this year.
Forbes Place, Aberdeen’s first Build to Rent development, features 276 furnished apartments available exclusively for rent.
Residents benefit from the support of Dandara Living’s on-site management team, with facilities including secure parcel receipt and temperature controlled grocery storage available.
Lois said: “When I was looking to move to Aberdeen I knew I wanted to rent as my plan is ultimately to move to a new city in a few years. I have really particular taste and having a modern interior that still felt homely was a huge selling point for me with Forbes Place.
“Everything about the development is so fresh and new, it has everything I need.”
Forbes Place was designed specifically to meet a demand for high quality, purpose-built rental accommodation in the city. The development includes studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, available from £635 per month.
Mandy Anderson, Dandara Living’s letting manager said: “Forbes Place is perfect for professionals who want to enjoy a superb standard of accommodation which offers them flexibility and security. The monthly rental includes high-speed broadband, a parking space and there are no hidden administration or factoring charges.”
All communal areas, landscaped grounds and the apartments themselves are under continuous management by Dandara Living, and are maintained to the highest standard.
Those benefits make Forbes Place an ideal choice for companies which need access to high quality accommodation for employees, as well as professionals who move from location to location and don’t want to rely on hotels to provide the standard of living they desire.
Lois said: “It’s brilliant that the apartment was furnished and ready for me to move into, it took so much hassle out of the process. Move-in day was so quick and easy, I felt instantly at home.
“As a personal trainer I work long hours so it’s great to not have to worry about being home to sign for parcels. The Dandara Living team have been so welcoming and are fantastic at keeping residents up to date with anything that may affect us from maintenance work to nearby road closures.”
Forbes Place is within 10 minutes’ drive of Aberdeen International Airport and just a short walk from local transport links to the city centre and the nearby Co-operative supermarket and Marks and Spencer Foodhall and coffee shop.
Dandara Living will host an open weekend at Forbes Place this Saturday and Sunday, April 14-15.
