\n The site is zoned for employment use and \u201crepresents one of the most significant mixed-use development opportunities in the central Scotland market\u201d.\n<\/p>\n

\n The agent said: \u201cThe location benefits from immediate proximity to Sheriffhall Park and Ride and Shawfair Station on the Borders Railway line, providing direct services to Edinburgh<\/a> Waverley. Edinburgh City Centre and Edinburgh Airport are both within a 20-minute drive, ensuring excellent connectivity for future occupiers.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe site comprises a level site with multiple access points. It offers scope for large-scale commercial, industrial and motor dealerships subject to planning. The site is further enhanced by Transport<\/a> Scotland\u2019s committed upgrade to the Sheriffhall Interchange, which will improve traffic flow and accessibility across the region.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The industrial market across central Scotland continues to face a \u201csignificant shortage of available accommodation for industrial, warehouse and manufacturing uses\u201d, the agent said.\n<\/p>\n

\n Bryce Stewart, senior director at CBRE Scotland, said: \u201cThis is a rare opportunity to secure a development site of genuine scale and strategic importance within the Scotland market. Sheriffhall Interchange is already a key transport hub for the city and wider region, and with the planned infrastructure improvements it will only become more attractive to occupiers and investors.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWith strong connectivity, proximity to Edinburgh\u2019s workforce and flexibility for a range of employment uses, we expect significant interest from both national and international parties.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The site is positioned at the junction of the A7, the Edinburgh City Bypass and the A6106, and a short distance from the A1, “offering direct access to key regional and national transport routes”.\n<\/p>\n
