A newly-refurbished apartment building on Union Street in Aberdeen has been launched following completion by a property developer.

Cater Group has transformed a once-derelict property into six flats, featuring a mix of one and two-bedroom layouts.

The latest Union Street project, which was undertaken above the Santander bank, comes amid a wave of plans to transform the Granite Mile's upper floors.

Thoughtful design elements are incorporated throughout, such as ample storage and motion-activated hallway lighting to promote energy efficiency.

Every detail has been carefully considered to enhance the living experience for residents, the firm added.

Vivien Choi, assistant property manager at Cater Group, said: "This project is particularly meaningful to us as it contributes to the regeneration of Aberdeen’s Union Street.

"As someone born and raised in Aberdeen, I’m incredibly proud to be playing a part in revitalising our city’s main street.

"By revitalising this empty building, we hope to enhance the quality of life, boost the local economy, and contribute to a more sustainable future for Aberdeen.

"The property initially had major issues, including structural and water leakage issues, and has been abandoned perhaps at least 10-20 years.

"We’re a smaller company and we wanted to do our part in revitalising the city. We hope that Union Residence represents a significant investment in the city and serves as a model for future urban renewal projects."
