Dougie Peters, Managing Director, BAM Properties said: "There continues to be a strong demand for Grade A office accommodation, in the right location and with the best facilities, and we are delighted to welcome Atkins to Atlantic Square. As organisations seek a hybrid approach to working patterns, having the right environment has never been more crucial especially when thinking longer term about attracting the right talent pool. Our development has helped to invigorate the IFSD area and with more development ongoing and the improved facilities along the waterfront, it's a vibrant part of the city in which to be located."
