Switched on Dundee tops it all down by the water

0 New office development meant to spark ‘contagious energy’ Tech entrepreneurs Chris van der Kuyl and Paddy Burns have marked the “topping out” ceremony for their Shed 25 project on the Dundee quayside by unveiling the commercial office development’s new name – Water’s Edge.

Tayforth Properties, owned by van der Kuyl and Burns, are in the final stages of developing Dundee’s historic transit Shed 25 into business units for entrepreneurial companies.

Tayforth’s owners are founders of 4J Studios and developers of the Minecraft console editions. Speaking to an audience of 300 business leaders, politicians and neighbours, van der Kuyl said: “We currently have an office at City Quay which we really like. But Paddy and I decided we wanted something a little bit bigger, maybe a little bit cooler and even closer to the waterfront.”

He added that the duo wanted to attract “businesses with a real energy and appetite for innovation”. He added that the idea was to stimulate “contagious energy” to drive Dundee’s growth.
