    "description": "In 2015 Aberdeen City Council adopted its City Centre Masterplan, a 25 year vision for the transformation of the City Centre. As part of this Aberdeen has a significant and ambitious investment plan including refurbishment of Aberdeen Art Gallery (30m GBP) and Music Hall (7m GBP), key cultural and historic venues at the heart of the City along with the 333m GBP investment in The Events Complex Aberdeen (TECA), the largest ever single investment in a venue in the UK, that demonstrates the ambition of Aberdeen City Council to diversify the local economy and draw an estimated 4.5 million additional visitors to the City. Coupled with other key projects such as the 107m GBP Marischal Square development, which has begun the regeneration and stimulation of the historic, civic core of Aberdeen along with Queen Street, the next phase of opportunity Aberdeen City Council is now seeking to dispose of its other commercial ground leases as part of the rationalisation of its property portfolio. In 2019, as part of the Council's budget setting and priority making process it was agreed to rationalise its property and estates portfolio, which largely dates back to the former District and Regional councils. This excludes TECA, Marischal Square and some other sits, but remains a rare opportunity for those interested in taking a longer-term investment view on returns and who may be willing to working with existing tenants to grow within the portfolio or to develop new opportunities. The portfolio has a good asset base underwritten by industrial ground leases which offer secure income with limited risk. The portfolio comprises approximately 130 ground leases.
