Office park is the business

THE biggest office park in the Capital has seen occupancy levels surge to 92 per cent.

Edinburgh Park has been boosted by the recent arrival of new tenants Agilent and Business Stream.

Park developer New Edinburgh Limited – a joint venture between Miller and the city council's property firm EDI – said its occupancy rates have risen dramatically from 70 per cent two years ago.

Planning consent has been granted for a new Premier Inn hotel in the southern phase of the Park, while NEL said a number of other deals are under offer.

Existing tenant WSP has also signed a new lease on its space at 4/5 Lochside View.

Pamela Grant, development director at NEL, said: "Edinburgh Park has reached another exciting stage in its development and this surge in occupier activity is testament to its success."
