It's smiles all round as dentist Norbert Neubauer gets ready to welcome the first patients at his new Aberdeen practice.

Abercrombie Dental Practice is the latest tenant to move in to Gladman Developments' Abercrombie Court in Westhill.

The dental business has taken possession of Unit 8 on a lease hold in a deal brokered by FG Burnett and James Barr. In a separate deal, the investment at Unit 8 has been sold for an undisclosed sum by a private investor, advised by Ryden.

Mr Neubauer said: "Gladman's units at Abercrombie Court provided very flexible open plan space which was easily adapted for our use as a dental practice. The ability of Gladman to undertake our specialist fit-out work was also extremely helpful."

Greg Limb, of Gladman Developments, said: "We are delighted to welcome the Abercrombie Court Dental Practice as tenants which we believe demonstrates the flexible nature of our buildings. It is also a very useful ancillary use for Abercrombie Court and the wider Westhill Community."


Also at Abercrombie Court, the first floor Unit 2, comprising 1190 sq ft, has been sold to international shipbroker Derrick Offshore.

FG Burnett revealed the sale of Unit 8 was the sixth investment sale at the popular Westhill location in the last 12 months.

FG Burnett director, David MacLeod, said: "Lease lengths on the investments have ranged from three to 10 years to a variety of clients in sectors including subsea consultancy, offshore communications, medical and drilling.

"This demonstrates Abercrombie Court is satisfying the needs of private investors looking for short, medium and long term income. Private investors continue to look for good quality stock and with re-letting prospects being a fundamental consideration for them, Abercrombie Court is proving to be a powerful proposition."
