DEMOLITION and site clearance has been completed ahead of the build of a 150,000 sq ft prime office development in Edinburgh city centre.
Bell Hammer is behind the development of Rosebery, which is owned by Aviva. Located in Haymarket, it sits adjacent to the capita’s most connected commuter hub.
Rosebery has been designed by 3DReid Architects and combines a ‘striking presence’ with innovative technology to create a future-proofed net zero carbon building.
With a double height reception, generous shared spaces, private and communal external terraces with ‘exceptional’ views over Edinburgh’s skyline, glazed rooftop event space, and comprehensive end of journey facilities, Rosebery aims to attract and retain the best talent for the most dynamic businesses.
Colin Hall, of Bell Hammer, commented, “We are delighted to be developing what many consider to be the best new office scheme in Edinburgh, if not Scotland. Bell Hammer see Rosebery as a prime example of the opportunity to take advantage of the shortage of new Grade A space in a restricted market.”
Julian Cobourne, head of regional investment management at Aviva Investors, added, “We believe the scheme at Rosebery will be a landmark building and a flagship office asset in the city. Sitting at the heart of one of Edinburgh’s best-connected locations and with planning consent in place, this is a scheme designed to provide outstanding facilities, supporting Edinburgh’s credentials as a compelling destination for world-leading businesses.”
