Edinburgh Industrial park gets go–ahead

EDINBURGH’S first speculative industrial development for five years has been given the green light by the city council.

London-listed J Smart & Co will now develop the first two phases of its West Edinburgh Business Park on South Gyle Crescent, with space for four terraces of industrial units. The site was formerly a plumbing merchants yard and part of the Pentad office development.

Kirsty Palmer, associate director at Jones Lang LaSalle, joint agent for the site, said: “The speculative development is a good sign Scotland’s industrial market is in good health.”
