MTM Construction awarded contract to deliver new 15,822 sq ft industrial unit at Kingshill Commercial Park

Award-winning property firm Knight Property Group is set to commence the speculative development of it’s final phase at Kingshill Commercial Park in Westhill, Aberdeenshire, having previously secured planning consent from Aberdeenshire Council.

The project represents the first speculative development of this size to be commence in Westhill in 10 years.

Aberdeen-based MTM Construction has been appointed as the main contractor for the new 15,822 sq ft industrial facility, with construction starting in early March 2026, with completion scheduled for the end of Q3 2026.

Set on a 1-acre site, this £5 million development will comprise a 10,811 sq ft workshop and a 5,011 sq ft office, alongside a concrete yard of 11,948 sq ft, 46 car parking spaces and EV charging points.

Built to a high specification, the unit will feature steel portal frame construction and high-performance cladding. It will provide 8m eaves height, a 6m high electric roller shutter door, all electric infrastructure and the steelwork will be installed with suitable crane rails to accommodate 10-tonne cranage which can be provided by separate negotiation.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the unit is targeting an EPC ‘A’ rating, it will be powered by all electric infrastructure, it’s power secured from 100% renewable sources and solar PV roof panels are provided to reduce the amount of power drawn from the network and thus effect savings on utility costs for the occupier. The unit provides high quality accommodation suitable for a range of occupiers including subsea, renewables, infrastructure, storage and distribution, oil and gas and builders merchants.

James Barrack Jnr, Director of Knight Property Group said:

“We have extensive experience delivering successful, sustainable speculative projects across Scotland and are excited to bring this high-quality development to Westhill. Building on the success of our previous schemes, we are confident it will attract new businesses and create valuable jobs for the region. We are also pleased to see MTM Construction start work on site.”

Doug Milne, Managing Director of MTM Construction added:

“We are delighted to be able to commence construction at Kingshill Commercial Park. We have extensive experience of delivering high-quality industrial developments and look forward to working with Knight once again.”

Kingshill Commercial Park is a well-established location within Westhill, one of Aberdeen’s key satellite towns, offering excellent connectivity and close proximity to the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR). The park is located just six miles west of Aberdeen city centre via the A944 and approximately seven miles from Aberdeen Airport. Westhill provides a comprehensive range of high-quality amenities serving both the residential and working population. Nearby occupiers include Screwfix, Toolstation, The Paint Shed, Power Jacks, Texo Group, Tendeka and Interwell.

Claire Herriot, Director of Savills said:

“This new speculative industrial unit will deliver much-needed high-quality space to the Aberdeen market at a time when supply remains constrained. We anticipate strong demand from a broad range of occupiers attracted by the unit’s specification, location and connectivity. This development will provide an excellent opportunity for businesses seeking modern, efficient accommodation.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
