To give you an idea of the quality you can expect from

Prime Four, take a look at what we’ve done so far. The

buildings most recently designed and constructed for

Statoil and Lloyds Register are testament to the Prime

Four vision. The designs for future complexes and

buildings will follow this design strategy.

All the buildings on the park are ultra-high spec. The principle

materials are granite and glass, in keeping with Aberdeen’s

heritage but also the modernity required in a business park of

this nature. The remaining buildings in future phases will follow a

similar theme, but with scope for architectural flair and a palette of

complimentary ‘best in class’ building materials. Most importantly,

occupiers have the added benefit of influencing the design to suit

their specific needs.

The existing designs provide Grade A office accommodation, and

are in-line with BCO Best Practice Guidelines. All buildings have

been designed to attain a BREEAM Rating of Very Good and an EPC

Rating of B+. Drum Property Group is willing to work with occupiers

to enhance these ratings and performance levels as far as possible.

Buildings also benefit from a car-parking ratio of 1:30 sqm on

the gross area built, in accordance with Aberdeen City Council

maximum parking standards.

To discover how we can accommodate your needs and to help

you create a bespoke workplace contact us today to arrange an

individual presentation.

Aberdeen is one of the most prosperous business

focused cities in the UK. Its status as a global centre of

excellence in the energy industry has been established

for over 40 years with other industries giving diversity to

the local economy. Some facts and figures about the

city are:

The city is a cornerstone of the UK and Scottish economies and for its

size consistently punches above its weight. The oil and gas industry

is the major contributor to the local economy with many global

companies resident in the city including BP, Shell, Total, Chevron,

Halliburton, Wood Group PSN, Repsol Sinopec and Nexen.

Other industries are also represented in the city including

multi nationals like First Group (Transport) and Aberdeen Asset

Management, RBS, Barclays and Simmons International (Financial).

It is estimated that 50% of the oil and gas activity in Aberdeen is

focused on the UK Continental Shelf while 50% is exported globally

highlighting the city’s importance in the global energy arena. Despite

lower oil prices, companies are still committing to long-term leases,

underlining the city’s excellent business longevity prospects.
