George Street runs north to south into the heart of the city and has historically been one of Aberdeen's busiest shopping streets, retaining the traditional grid street pattern with active ground floor frontages and a mix of retail, service and food and drink occupiers along its length. The immediate area is well populated with a diversity of communities and businesses, and the street connects southwards towards the Bon Accord Centre and the principal city centre retail core. Aberdeen benefits from strong road links and established public transport, with George Street itself carrying steady vehicular and pedestrian traffic as a key route in and out of the centre. Significantly for investors, George Street is a focus of active regeneration. Aberdeen City Council's City Centre Masterplan identifies the George Street area for redevelopment, particularly around the Bon Accord Centre, and the Council has since approved a dedicated George Street mini-masterplan aimed at supporting the street as a vibrant city centre neighbourhood and stimulating market-led change. This ongoing public sector commitment underpins the longer-term prospects for the location and its surrounding commercial stock.
