120 new affordable flats proposed for Dundee’s City Quay

Edinburgh-based JM Architects has submitted a proposal of application notice (PAN) to Dundee City Council for the homes along with parking facilities on an area of land to the west of Thorter Row and south of South Victoria Dock Road.

The site, close to HM Frigate Unicorn, is currently used as a car park. Despite several apartment blocks being built at City Quay in the last couple of decades, the land has remained vacant, as previous proposals for new homes have failed to materialise.

According to the PAN, the development would also include a retail unit, green space, and cycle and refuse storage.

A meeting will be held at the Apex Hotel on Tuesday December 12 to discuss the plans.

Representatives from the community council and the Stobswell Forum, along with ward councillors, have been invited to attend — with members of the public also welcome.
