Work starts to turn former factory into Parc

Construction has started at Baldovie Road, Dundee, as Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP) begins its £20 million transformation from former factory site to “world-leading” facility.

Robertson Construction will undertake Phase 1 of MSIP’S masterplan, which will see delivery of the Fulhame Building, a new industrial space that will be subdivided into six light industrial units.

The building will mark the Innovation Parc’s first lettable space for small start-up businesses. It will have 1,125 square metres of internal floor area and will be ready to welcome tenants in September.

Michelin closed the doors to its Dundee factory last year and is now part of the MSIP joint venture with Scottish Enterprise and Dundee City Council.

Kevin Dickson, regional managing director at Robertson Construction Tayside, said: “Michelin Dundee has played a pivotal role in the region for years and we will look to continue its legacy… Robertson will be engaging with the local community.”
