Emma Garry development director at Cullross said: “We recently completed homes at the end of Alexander Street on Dens Road, so we know the area well and are keen to contribute in any way we can to the regeneration of Alexander Street.”

Not sure what’s going on with the corner block, but it looks to me like the building has somehow turned its back on the street/entrance. You can throw a nice sky and trees into any image like this but frankly all you’re is doing in this case is trying to mask a building that looks like its been plucked from a grey rendered 1960’s new town.

All the hard work down at the waterfront to make some form of attempt to bring Dundee in the 21st century and this just blasts it straight back to 1960.
