Hundreds of flats planned for quarry site

Nearly 300 flats are set to be built at the site of a disused granite quarry in Aberdeen under newly published plans.

IBI Group have tabled their finished designs for 299 private flats at Aberdeen’s Hill of Rubislaw.

Circling the southern flank of the flooded excavation will be a continuous tiered block of accommodation stepping between three ten-storey “hills” inspired by the peaks of Glen Coe with an opening at their base.

The brownfield site was previously in use as part of quarrying activity but has been sealed off.
