In 2010 approval was granted to demolish the auditorium and construct a seven level hotel, but this scheme did not proceed. On 7 November 2013 a new redevelopment scheme was approved by Aberdeen City Council. This latest scheme will refurbish the Union Street elevation, foyer, staircase and former tea rooms and the historic proscenium arch and organ will be removed and stored for possible reuse elsewhere. The auditorium/ stage will be demolished to make way for a 10 level office tower.
