Cromarty House is a harbourside office building situated at 67-72 Regent Quay and has a guide price of £225,000-£250,000 for the heritable interest. The property is currently vacant and offers an opportunity to redevelop or repurpose subject to planning.
The third Aberdeen property in the sale is River House at South Esplanade East. The 28,423 sq ft property is currently vacant and is offered with a guide price of £125,000-£150,000.
Mhairi Archibald of Acuitus commented: “Ardent West is an excellent opportunity to acquire long-term sustainable income while Cromarty House and River House have asset management potential for reletting or repurposing. Both properties should benefit from the £350m Aberdeen Harbour extension which is due for completion in October.”
