The letting coincides with a new programme of improvement works launched by the building’s new owners, DS properties, aimed at enhancing both the building iconic street presence and its premium working environment.

As a core element of these improvement works, the landlord is investing capital into creating dedicated “plug-and-play” suites tailored to accommodate occupiers of various sizes.

The targeted renovations include the cleaning and restoration of the buildings striking 1930s Art Deco exterior. Rich in local heritage, the Category B listed building originally opened its doors in February 1933, as a grand theatre and cinema.

In 2016, the property underwent a major, award-winning restoration that seamlessly married its classic features, including the preserved original Art Deco foyer, with a spectacular, modern Grade A office expansion.

The building now offers occupiers highly flexible floorplates, extensive secure parking and top tier end of journey facilities designed to foster productivity, collaboration and employee wellbeing.

Arron Finnie, office agency partner at Ryden and joint letting agent for The Capitol, said: “This letting reflects the continued demand for high-quality, well-connected workspace in Aberdeen. The Capitol combines a landmark city centre address with the flexibility and specification modern occupiers are looking for.

“As one of the city centre’s most recognisable buildings, The Capitol’s façade improvements will also have a real impact on Union Street, while its internal features are well suited to support business growth and attract and retain talent.”
