Key development celebrates topping out ceremony - press release issued today by Atria Edinburgh.
The City of Edinburgh Council's Chief
Executive, Sue Bruce, today marked a significant milestone in the development
of Atria Edinburgh by filling in the last concrete slab on the highest floor of
the building as part of a topping out ceremony.
Atria Edinburgh,
the Council's landmark Grade A office development located next to the EICC
(Edinburgh International Conference Centre), is split between two buildings,
comprising nearly 200,000 sq ft of accommodation. It is the only
speculative city centre Grade A office building in the UK, outside
London and the
South East, to offer more than 100,000sq ft by early 2013.
The topping out ceremony, on the seventh floor of Atria
One, celebrated the over all completion of the development's structural steel frame
and floor slabs. It was attended by key members of the project team as
well as representatives from investment managers Brewin Dolphin, the first
confirmed tenant which will take 25% of the building.
Sue Bruce, Chief Executive of The City of Edinburgh Council, which
is funding and developing the project, commented: "Atria Edinburgh is a
key development for the city and it is a great achievement that we are here
today to celebrate its topping out, an important milestone in the progression
of the project.
"This development, set against the backdrop of a UK market where there is a dearth of large
speculative office developments, gives Edinburgh
a competitive advantage in attracting new, and retaining existing, businesses."
Linda McPherson, Creative Industries and East Region
Director at Scottish Enterprise, which is part-funding the project,
added: "We are committed to providing Scotland with a world class
business environment where companies can grow and prosper. An important
part of this is to ensure that there is sufficient provision of top quality
Grade A office space in our key cities, as supply of appropriate accommodation
is vital to Scotland's
continued success in attracting inward investment. Atria Edinburgh
is a key element of this and will help build on the strengths that Edinburgh already has to offer, bringing more jobs and
wealth to Scotland."
Atria Edinburgh
is being marketed for let by joint agents Jones Lang LaSalle and Montagu Evans.
