Ryden

And now for something completely different

Ryden is one of the largest independent commercial property consultants headquartered in Scotland. We have 40 Partners and 100 staff across six offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London and Manchester.

Our planning team brings exceptional experience, expertise and insight to all projects. We are strategic thinkers and are experienced in shaping the narratives which can be of key importance to many projects. We see the bigger picture, delivering real value for both client and community.

We advise on a full range of projects, large or small, and specialise in large-scale, complex, and sensitive projects in both urban and rural areas.

We advise commercial developers and investors across all sectors. This includes all forms of residential, retail, leisure, hotel, office, and industrial developments as well as specialist sectors including energy, recycling, and waste.

We are proud of the good relationships we have developed over many years with key decision-makers in local planning authorities, government, and national agencies.

The planning team also works with our market-leading research, agency and investment surveyors, as well as our building consultants, project managers and valuation experts.
