Under the development agreement an existing 70,000 sq ft warehouse will be stripped back to its structural frame and extensively refurbished, with new offices and yard facilities allowing FedEx to move in for July this year.
Titan Investors acquired the site for Aberdeen One in Altens Industrial Estate from Total in 2018 and demolished the old office facilities to generate 20 acres of future development opportunities.
Iain Landsman, CBRE associate director, said: “For the best industrial property in Aberdeen we are still seeing strong demand, and so it is fantastic to land the internationally-recognised anchor tenant FedEx for this new development.
“Much of Aberdeen’s dated industrial stock no longer meets the needs of today’s occupiers and so Titan Investors are raising the development standards in the city by developing state-of-the-art logistics facilities, for benefit of the local economy.”
The Aberdeen industrial market saw activity growing for the fourth year in a row with take-up for 2020 totaling 720,780 sq ft.
Iain commented: “Despite the wider economic challenges the Aberdeen industrial market has continued to perform well.
“The five-year annual average take-up is 652,500 sq ft – this has been exceeded in 2019, 2019 and again in 2020. There are a lot of positives to take going into 2021 and beyond.”
