ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Welcome to The Academy, an established commercial destination in the heart of Aberdeen city centre. Formerly Aberdeen Academy School, the premises were extensively refurbished and restored in 1998 to create a retail, leisure, and office complex. Further reconfiguration and upgrades have been completed more recently. The Academy is situated within the prime retail core of Aberdeen City Centre, just a short walk from Bon Accord Shopping Centre and Union Street, the city's principal commercial thoroughfare. The center spans 70,000 square feet and comprises four interlinking blocks arranged around a central courtyard. The original building fronting Belmont Street and Schoolhill dates from the 19th century, boasting a striking granite façade incorporating original features. This block benefits from entrances via Belmont Street and Schoolhill, comprising a ground-floor mall and retail space with lift and stair access to two floors of economic office space that is attractive to occupiers. The southern block includes a stunning Victorian stone building fronting Little Belmont Street, which was converted to The Old School Pub with upper-floor ancillary and residential accommodation. The remaining two blocks face the inner courtyard and include reconfigured ground-floor leisure space with two upper floors of office and ancillary space. The area is well served with car parking, with Loch Street and Harriet Street car parks within a two-minute walk. The city centre office core and main bus and railway stations are also within a five-minute walk, offering excellent connectivity to occupiers and visitors.
