Discussing the proposals, Michael Smart, Development Director, BAM Properties, said: "This is a strategic alliance between Taylor Clark which owns the site and BAM as a developer and contractor with a substantial track record in bringing attractive sustainable developments to the market.

"This project builds on our positive experience at our CONNECT110NS development in Queen Street. We have carefully researched the supply pipeline and have identified a strong undercurrent of demand from top grade companies and organisations.

"Together, we will create a state-of-the art development that will meet the requirements of forward thinking business tenants and investors."

Jon Brand, Managing Director, Taylor Clark Properties, added: "A lack of Grade A space is limiting investment in the city and with rents stabilising we believe the time is right to combine our expertise to deliver this striking mixed use development."

Cooper Cromar has designed the new development and it is understood that work will commence on site immediately, subject to the necessary consents being secured.
