Angus-based property developer DJ Laing has started work on a multi-million pound project on the western gateway to Carnoustie, set to provide business and industrial units on the initial 14 acre site.
The Victoria Green development received detailed planning consent in February 2021, as part of a larger mixed use development plan by the company.
The original masterplan was the future vision of the late Heinz Voigt, of the Voigt Partnership, and partner David Laing, chairman of the DJ Laing Group. The project has been the result of 15 years of work to bring modern industrial units and commercial premises into Carnoustie.
The new business park should be suitable for Class 4 Business, Class 5 General Industrial and Class 6 Storage and Distribution business types.
The initial phase will provide small starter units, which will be available to let to a variety of users and occupiers. The intention is then to develop the site in stages with a mix of small, medium and large industrial units, suitable for commercial use, including office accommodation.
The small starter units should be ready to occupy from this spring.
David Laing, chairman of DJ Laing, said: “We are delighted to finally bring this project and our latest investment plans to fruition and create high-quality business and industrial space in Carnoustie.
“Victoria Green will provide businesses with an opportunity to relocate and thrive in a superb location that offers so much more than just a base for business.”
Councillor Mark McDonald, economic development spokesperson for Angus Council, said: “We continue to experience a high demand for prime industrial and business space in Angus.
“Alongside this, our current commercial units/properties have a high occupancy rate, so the new business park at Victoria Green in Carnoustie should encourage future economic growth in Angus through jobs and investment.”
