A long-term vision for Dundee’s waterfront

This new office space development sits next to Agnes Husband House, which Robertson constructed for Dundee City Council in 2019.

It is the latest piece of the infrastructure programme that has transformed Dundee’s waterfront into an exciting destination for businesses and visitors, helping secure investment in new industries, and to attract and retain talented people from around the world.

The current 30-year Dundee Waterfront Masterplan has transformed the area with major projects already delivered including V&A Dundee, the new railway station, Waterfront Place and Slessor Gardens.

The Scottish Government has committed more than £60 million in Growth Accelerator funding the Central Waterfront project and this investment has delivered upgrades to the railway station and a public Wi-Fi network.

Sustainable design and delivery

James Thomson House has been designed and will be delivered with sustainability in mind and is set to achieve EPC ‘A’ and BREEAM ‘Excellent’ environmental accreditation ratings.

Community impact

Our programme of community wealth building activities are ongoing during the construction phase, bringing further benefits to the area. This includes employability support, education visits and maximising opportunities for local suppliers and sub-contractors.

The success of Agnes Husband House has proved that there is a demand in Dundee for modern office space of this high quality. It is vital in our efforts to attract and sustain jobs in the city. James Thomson House has been designed with energy efficiency at its very heart and I am excited to see this work at Dundee Waterfront progressing.
