Transformation of former Hessian Fabric Factory into modern student housing, Thrudeck’s works have now completed on this purpose-built student accommodation complex in the heart of Dundee. The development will consist of 152 studio flats, and will also feature a common room, gym, cinema room, dining room and laundry as well as a roof-top terrace. Completion now expected by the start of the 2024/25 academic year.
The development is set to transform a long-vacant site, formerly home to a hessian fabric factory, into a vibrant living space for students. Located between Douglas Street and Brown Street, the site offers a prime location in the city centre, providing easy access to local amenities, public transport, and the University of Dundee. This central position is expected to make the new accommodation highly attractive to students seeking convenience and a lively urban environment.
The new development comes in response to the growing demand for student housing in Dundee, driven by increasing student numbers and the need for modern, well-equipped living spaces. The project aims to offer a variety of accommodation options, featuring state-of-the-art facilities designed to enhance the student living experience.
The transformation of the former hessian fabric factory is not only a boon for students but also a significant step in revitalizing a historic part of the city. The factory, which has been a vacant eyesore for several years, will now gain a new lease on life, contributing to the ongoing regeneration of Dundee’s city centre.
In addition to providing much-needed housing, the construction of the new student complex is expected to bring economic benefits to the area. The project will create jobs during the construction phase and boost local businesses by increasing foot traffic and demand for services once completed. This development marks a significant investment in Dundee’s future, showcasing the city’s commitment to enhancing its infrastructure and providing high-quality living spaces for its growing student population.
