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.

you create a bespoke workplace contact us today to arrange an

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

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.
