Chance to see new Atholl House hotel plan for Aberdeen

The public will have the chance to view proposals for a new major hotel, retail and housing complex for the heart of Aberdeen today.

Atholl Square Developments, which owns Atholl House on Guild Street, submitted a proposal of application notice for the site earlier this year.

Developers want to turn the area into a 150-bedroom hotel and 500 student rooms.

Shops, offices and restaurants are also planned for the redevelopment, which would involve increasing the height of the building to more than 10 storeys.

Following on from a series of consultation events last month, Atholl Square has made a number of alterations to the plans, based on public feedback.

And locals are being asked to view the updated plans during a consultation at the Station Hotel, Guild Street, between 2pm-8pm.

A spokesman for Atholl Square Developments said: “Following on from our initial consultation, we are keen to highlight the open space we aim to create at Atholl Square, which we are unveiling in response to feedback from people in the city centre.

“Providing vastly improved connectivity from Bridge Street to Guild Street and beyond is a vital element of our proposal in terms of fitting into the Station Gateway masterplan.

“We remain focused on creating a vibrant, dynamic, multi-use development which will enhance the city centre, delivering much-needed commercial and residential space and opening up a key site for safe access to the station, Union Square and Merchant Quarter.

“These consultations are a crucial part of the process and we look forward to unveiling and taking forward formal plans for the development in the coming months.”

The scheme could result in Guild Street being pedestrianised to allow greater access between the concourse level of the train station, Bridge Street, and Union Street.

The site has previously been identified as a key area for redevelopment by the city council.

It is expected the developers will lodge a full planning application in May.
