Demolition Application (15 June 2012)
On 15 June 2012 Aberdeen City Council announced, via a press release, that the demolition of the fourteen storey St Nicholas House was due to commence following the appointment of Satedem, a demolition/dismantling firm, to undertake the initial decommissioning of the building.
The Council used the same press release to invite expressions of interest from companies interested in developing the 0.92 hectare site for commercial, residential and/or leisure use, citing The Bon Accord Quarter Masterplan as a guiding document.
Information from RCAHMS (NG), September 2012.
Watching Brief (1 June 2012 - 29 September 2012)
A watching brief was carried out during the digging of post-pits for a hoarding and an evaluation of an open area was carried out during the soft strip prior to demolition of the 1960s office block, the former Aberdeen City Council headquarters. 19th-century tenement wall foundations were recorded and one area containing undisturbed garden soil will need to be investigated further if the site is to be redeveloped.
