Savills Development launches premier heritage project

Latest News Mon, Mar 17, 2025 7:49 AM

Savills Development is pleased to bring a remarkable development opportunity to the market in Dundee.

Located on Victoria Street, the historic Eagle Mills is set to be transformed, breathing new life into Dundee's rich industrial heritage.

Eagle Mills has received planning permission for a mixed-use scheme on the site, including housing, a nursery, and commercial units.

Niall Macleod, Director of Savills Development, said: “Eagle Mills embodies Dundee's rich industrial heritage. The city's evolution from 'Jute, Jam, and Journalism' to a vibrant hub of bio, life sciences, gaming, tech, and tourism is impressive. Dundee is now an exciting place to live, work, and visit, with a bright future ahead. This is a unique opportunity to create something special on this historic site.”

The former Eagle Mill jute factory extends over approximately 1.7 acres and comprises two main components. The main mill block on Victoria Street, a Category B listed building, dates back to 1864 and features a distinctive coursed rubble pattern. The structure was extended in 1930, adding Art Deco elements to its design. The interior boasts iron-framed columns carrying brick arches.

Eagle Mill combines Dundee’s industrial heritage with modern living. This iconic building offers a rare opportunity for stylish, loft-style apartments that preserve historical character while providing contemporary comfort.

The site has detailed planning permission and listed building consent for a mixed-use scheme in two phases, encompassing 68 dwellings, commercial units, and 55 car parking spaces. Phase 1 focuses on converting the listed mill into 34 apartments, a nursery school, and a small café/bakery, along with commercial space and 31 parking spaces. Phase 2 includes an L-shaped new-build block with 34 apartments, a commercial/retail unit, and 24 parking spaces. Eagle Mills also features an extensive basement level, offering around 19,547 sq ft of potential commercial space with floor-to-ceiling heights of approximately 7.5 meters.

Eagle Mill offers an exceptional living experience that blends historic charm with modern convenience — a rare opportunity in Dundee. Experience the perfect mix of past and present, right in the heart of the city.

Situated at the north-east edge of Dundee’s city centre, Eagle Mills is surrounded by residential and commercial buildings. Dundee, Scotland's fourth-largest city, is renowned for its contributions to jute, jam, journalism, and its modern designation as the City of Discovery. The site is well-located for a range of amenities, including schools, local and larger retail offerings, and Baxter Park, which offers 37 acres of parkland.
