Angus property developer DJ Laing has started development on Carnoustie business park.
The multi-million-pound project will see the construction of modern units offering new and existing businesses a fresh location to operate from.
Victoria Green is located on the western gateway to Carnoustie. It will house a mixture of small, medium and large industrial units which can be built to occupier specification.
The development could generate an estimated £20m worth of investment to the local economy.
It is also hoped businesses setting up will lead to more Angus jobs.
Collaborative project
The project comes after collaboration between DJ Laing and the late Heinz Voigt of the Voigt Partnership.
David Laing, chairman of DJ Laing, believes the project offers Carnoustie something new.
He 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.”
Creating jobs and opportunity
The plans received planning consent in February 2021 the project is part of a larger development plan proposed by DJ Laing.
The joint venture partner, Persimmon Homes North Scotland, will provide new mainstream and much needed affordable housing in Carnoustie.
The housing development looks to generate an estimated £50 million worth of investment.
Small units will be available this spring at the 14-acre site.
Councillor Mark McDonald, Angus Council’s economic development spokesperson, said: “We continue to experience a high demand for prime industrial and business space in Angus.
“One of the key priorities for Angus Council is to make Angus ‘a go to place for business’.
“Our current commercial units/properties have a high occupancy rate.
“The new business park at Victoria Green in Carnoustie is great news for Angus.”
