New pictures have emerged of a student accommodation block which will soon be added to Aberdeen's city centre skyline.
City councillors yesterday voted to unanimously approve ambitious £60million proposals for wasteland on John Street.
Getting more people to live in the city centre is a key strand of plans to regenerate Union Street and the surrounding area, and it is anticipated that the new accommodation will range between four and seven storeys in size and have a private courtyard for students.

The 92-126 John Street site was previously occupied by tenements, then later a small shopping centre and finally the Ambassador snooker hall
City-based firm Levelling Up Real Estate will now transform it with a 383-bedroom energy-efficient building that will also feature a cinema room and study facilities.
Two public consultations were held earlier this year to give residents the chance to have their say on the proposal for the land.
Feedback revealed there were some concerns about the height of the building, which has since been reduced.
In papers submitted by architects Halliday Fraser Munro, the developers say that the proposals would deliver a "well-designed brownfield redevelopment scheme" and it would contribute towards bolstering the limited supply of student housing in the city.
