The planned development is on the former BOC Gases industrial site, which is bounded by Ballindean Place, Balmedie Drive, Ballindean Road and Douglas Road in the east end of the city.
The developer has submitted a proposal of application notice to Dundee City Council, informing the local authority that it intends to submit a planning application following a minimum 12-week consultation period.

The Scottish Government has suspended public consultation events because of Covid-19.
An online consultation will take place between 3pm and 7pm on March 31.
Emma Garry, development consultant at Cullross, said: "We're delighted to be giving the public the chance to have a say on our development proposals.
“This is an exciting development, and we’re looking forward to the chance to discuss our proposals with the public. We are consulting extensively to ensure that that the public have an opportunity to input their views and shape our proposals. We encourage the community to attend and ask any questions they may have."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
