Always a major shopping street, George Street once crossed, at its southern end, the city's Schoolhill, and thence led to the main thoroughfare of Union Street.[3] However, the late 20th Century development of the Bon Accord Centre covered over the end of the street where the roadway once continued (as St. Nicholas Street) to Union Street.
Future commercial development of the southern end of George Street is planned along with further development of the Bon Accord Centre. A glass roof and facade improvements have been conditionally approved by Aberdeen City Council planners for the south end of George Street, along with plans for shops, a 170-bed hotel and 50 residential flats.[4]
