Dawe hails office pre-let as ‘exceptional’
City leader Jenny Dawe has welcomed news that a company has signed up to a pre-let of a new office development at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Investment management firm Brewin Dolphin has agreed to a deal to move into the new “Atria Edinburgh” office next to the council-owned EICC when it is completed in June 2013.
The council’s Grade A development is part of the business plan for the extension to the EICC and will help fund the work. The pre-let, in the current market where such deals are hard to secure, has been hailed as “exceptional”.
Councillor Dawe said: “Atria Edinburgh is a key development for the city. To have secured a tenant of this calibre a year ahead of completion is quite exceptional.”

Monday, February 13, 2012 at 12:47 PMGood bye Cllr Dawe. Just another senior citizen come May. Wonder the bag lady will still get up in the morning,,don what she imagine is power dressing,and get the bus into town each day. Present herself @ the City Chambers, only to be directed to the nearest Tesco's.Poor old deluded soul.
