BUSINESS CASE REGENERATION BENEFITSPROJECT OVERVIEWBroadleys Business Park is one of Stirling’s largest industrial/commercial areas and is situated on the east side of Stirling City centre. The main occupiers are Barbour European, John Martin Group, Advanatage Stirling, Menzies BMW, Clyde Insulation, Hagemeyer and Clark & Rose.

Five sites available with areas ranging from 1.54 acre to 3.21 acre. Plots can be combined to accommodate larger space requirements.

Subject to detailed planning consent plots can accommodate industrial/commercial and business space uses. Discussions are ongoing with various owner occupiers for individual plots.

Need for an increase in industrial space in the area. Stirling has one of the lowest industrial availability rates in Scotland. Limited supply restricts opportunities for businesses to expand or locate within the area. Future economic growth will require around 158,429 sqm of replacement industrial space by 2032. This includes an allowance of 14,403 sq m required to alleviate the low supply of modern industrial premises. This averages out at 6,888 sqm per annum.

Project Name: Dundee Waterfront

Site Name: Dundee Waterfront

City Region: Dundee

Postcode: DD1

Site Size: 1,500,000 sq ft



Investment Sought: £1bn

Completion Date: 2031

PROJECT OVERVIEWThe city of Dundee is located in a ‘ludicrously ideal’ setting on the banks of the River Tay. It is easily accessed from almost all of Scotland’s major towns and cities - 90% of the population live within a 90 minute drive time of Dundee.

The £1 billion transformation of the award winning Dundee Waterfront, which encompasses 240 hectares of development land stretching 8km along the River Tay, is a strategic, focussed and forward-looking 30 year project (2001-2031) that is propelling the city to international acclaim. The area is divided into five focussed zones: Riverside; Seabraes; The Central Waterfront, City Quay and Dundee Port.

The V&A museum of Design Dundee, is due to be complete 2018. Hotels, businesses and retailers are reaping the rewards of the ongoing city transformation while expectant of significant growth potential as a further 7,000 jobs are created through the Dundee Waterfront project.

Opportunities for developers, investors and a wide range of business ventures exist in what is shaping up to be one of Western Europe’s most extensive and transformative waterfront projects and one of Scotland’s biggest waterfront regeneration.

BUSINESS CASEThe impact of the Waterfront regeneration is being felt across the city and is set to continue to boost tourism and the desire for students, businesses and commuters to locate to Dundee. In 2013, leisure tourism generated £143 million and business tourism £55 million in expenditure, and the net gain of new retail stores was higher in Dundee than in any other Scottish city.

Dundee prides itself on the strong partnerships and good communications that exist between its council, its businesses and its institutions. All of the organisations and stakeholders involved in the Waterfront have a say in decisions, with a strong, informed consensus group working together to make Dundee is a world leading Waterfront destination.

Dundee is a well established leader in academia, and the past 20 years have seen a cultural renaissance in the city. The city’s universities are renowned for life sciences, research, art and design and digital games development, making Dundee a young, educated, cosmopolitan city with the highest student to resident ratio in Scotland. More than 35,000 students live in Dundee.

Dundee Waterfront has been named the “best place” in Scotland in a poll organised by RTPI Scotland and the Scottish Government.

REGENERATION BENEFITSDundee Waterfront has been ranked as the 3rd most active regeneration project (Planning Magazine, April 2013) and is expected to become Scotland’s first sustainable community (BREEAM), which will help developers to meet corporate governance obligations with lower whole life development costs.

PROJECT OVERVIEWParabola recently acquired 42 acres/17 hectares of prime development land at the Edinburgh Park Business Park.

A significant proportion of Edinburgh Park has been developed and hosts a variety of high calibre tenants occupying Grade A office space, and complementary uses, in a parkland setting on the edge of the City.

The site boasts excellent communication links including road (with immediate access to the M8 corridor and A720 City Bypass), rail (with a direct link to the Edinburgh - Glasgow line) and now tram (providing convenient access to the City Centre and Edinburgh Airport).

Working with Dixon Jones, Parabola are currently developing a new masterplan based on a mix of uses with a leisure component clustered around a new public square.

The new masterplan seeks to develop a synergy between more recent development at Edinburgh Park and to develop a mixed use office led vision for the future, including refreshed design approach, emphasis on public space and quality of life, which will be an asset to the wider city-region.

Parabola have a sound and demonstrable background in creating innovative and award winning places.

In critically assessing schemes across the Country and beyond, they have delivered space and place through innovation and forward thinking.

Kings Place in London is Parabola’s award winning 500,000 sq ft office and arts development designed with Dixon Jones and completed in 2008.

Kings Place formed the new head offices for The Guardian Newspaper, Network Rail, Wolverine and Esmee Fairburn. It contains a 425 seat concert hall, an art gallery and restaurant space. When the site was fi rst purchased it was in a very urban fringe area and the building has made a major contribution to the spectacular reassessment of Kings Cross as a location in its own right.

Kings Place has won numerous awards for offi ces, the arts content and as a restaurant and conference venue. The public access to the building was revolutionary at the time and has lead to a fundamental rethinking of what office space should offer back to the general public. Space in the building continues to be in great demand by a variety of occupiers.

In light of the successes of schemes such as Kings Place, Edinburgh Park is considered to represent a significant opportunity. With unrivalled communication links and direct access to new and expanding markets, the vision of Parabola is both innovative and exciting.

Parabola’s vision is to create a new mix of uses across the southern phase of Edinburgh Park, and significant new office floorspace. The scheme may include hotel, restaurant, conferencing and exhibition facilities. The proposed development will have significant benefits and provide a unique and unrivalled mixed use destination in the City.

PROJECT OVERVIEW BUSINESS CASE REGENERATION BENEFITSInverness Airport Business Park (IABP) is a planning approved and master planned commercial development of 620-acres with 36-acres of serviced land currently available for occupation. Four key development zones have been identifi ed: Phase 1 Development, Hotel Development, Airside Development and Railside Development.

We have designs for a technologically advanced 21st century sustainable business environment to complement the stunning location. The design refl ects the stakeholders’ commitment to promoting Inverness Airport Business Park to enhance the long term social, economic and environmental sustainability of the area, as well as providing a vibrant commercial hub that will build on the established and continued success of Inverness.

Inverness is the UK’s most northern city and established ‘capital’ of the Highlands. As one of Europe’s fastest growing cities, Inverness holds a key central location and provides the main gatewayto a Highland Region. Inverness Airport Business Park is strategically positioned to the East of InvernessCity and provides occupiers with excellent transport links and connectivity by air, road and rail. Inverness Airport Business Park is 9 miles from Inverness City Centre and is located beside the region’s main hub airport and alongside its key trunk routes, the nearby A9 and adjacent A96 corridor to Aberdeen.

Whether you are looking to enter a design & build lease agreement, or purchase land on a long leasehold, Inverness Airport Business Park offers a range of options to meet individual business requirements. Our Phase 1 Development Partner Roxhill, can provide organisations with comprehensive bespoke property development solutions in accordance with the site master plan and design code.

Tier 1 Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) is the main investment grant scheme for businesses and assists projects that create or safeguard jobs in Scotland. RSA is a discretionary grant scheme and in the case of Inverness Airport Business Park, would be managed by our partners at Highland & Islands Enterprise (HIE).

It is forecasted that, by 2028, the IABP development will be generating just over 2,000 jobs in Inverness that would not accrue without alternative developments. This amounts to an increase of local output of some £178 million per annum. By 2028, it is forecast that around one third of the total proposed IABP space will have been developed.

PROJECT OVERVIEW REGENERATION BENEFITSArtisan Real Estate Investors is making signifi cant progress with its £150 million development at New Waverley, transforming one of Edinburgh’s most critical gap sites at the heart of the Old Town.

The seven and a half acre New Waverley site occupies a strategic city-centre location between Waverley Station and the Royal Mile, transforming the area into a vibrant pedestrian-friendly urban centre mixing open public spaces with retailers, restaurants, hotels and leisure off erings, as well as new homes and offi ces.

Currently, three major hotel contracts, providing 394 new hotel rooms, are under construction. Work on the site is now extending to a 146-apartment Adagio Aparthotel which will face directly on to the Royal Mile behind a retained façade of the C-listed Sailors Ark building, to be completed in November 2016.

This milestone development phase also includes the start of works for the new £6.5 million public square linked to the Aparthotel, surrounded by 16,500 sq. metres of high-quality grade A offi ce space and 28 new retail businesses including shops, restaurants and cafes.

A row of historic Victorian arches is also currently being transformed into a new arts, retail and leisure quarter packed with independent traders, restaurants and bars, with a completion date set for November 2015.

Construction work on the initial development phase of two Whitbread hotels began in November 2014, with a completion date set for Autumn-2016.

ANY OTHER INFONew Waverley’s potential is now being delivered - a broad sweep of a historic part of the citylinking Edinburgh’s Waverley Station with theRoyal Mile. It will become a vibrant urban centremixing public spaces with high quality homesand offices - as well as restaurants, shops andhotels linking directly to one of the most iconicstreets anywhere in the world.

Latest research shows that New Waverley is helping influence a major shift in Edinburgh’s office market towards the eastern side of the city. Office capacity in the ‘Eastern Quadrant’ now has potential for nearly 20,000 staff, with big players like RBS, Standard Life Investments and Baillie Gifford all occupying significant space there. These companies are all taking advantage of the buoyant city-centre lifestyle and excellent transport links provided by Waverley Station which now enjoys a footfall of more than twenty six million passengers per year.

Together with the City of Edinburgh Council headquarters and the Scottish Parliament, the Waverley Valley area is fast becoming one of the most important administrative areas anywhere in Scotland.

New Waverley is transforming one of Edinburgh’s most signifi cant gap sites of the last 50 years, breathing new life back into the Old Town and reintegrating it with the rest of the city. As well as development benefi ts, the transformation will also open up signifi cant community investment funding which will benefi t the wider area.

PROJECT OVERVIEW REGENERATION BENEFITSThis city centre mixed use development scheme is situated directly opposite Stirling railway station. First phase has commenced providing 53 aff ordable fl ats and 3 retail units.

BUSINESS CASEStirling has a strategic requirement for a large and high profi le 4 star/4 star+ hotel operated by a national or international chain. Currently, there are only 13 hotels in the Stirling urban area. The Collessio and the Stirling Highland Hotel are the only 4 star hotels in the city and off er just 136 bed spaces between them. There is signifi cant market opportunity for a hotel of this type for both the leisure and business tourism markets.

Currently Stirling’s hotels have an average occupancy of 75%, with particularly strong performance over the summer months, and £132m was spent on serviced accommodation in the area in 2014.

Four years ago a commission was undertaken to assess the future accommodation demand potential and future market needs of the Stirling Council area. The study was comprehensive and the results were that, based on the Low Scenario for the overall Stirling Council area, there was a theoretical requirement for an increase in hotel bedrooms of 347 rooms (a 16% increase in stock) by 2020 and in the High Scenario 748 rooms, a 35% increase in stock by 2020. Nearly 40% of the new stock was estimated to be required in the Stirling City sub-area.

Since that time several new hotels of varying rating standard have been established in the Stirling Council area with an estimated overall room total of 200. However, during this time the number of visitors to the area has also risen signifi cantly.

BUSINESS CASE REGENERATION BENEFITSPROJECT OVERVIEWMeadowbank does not meet customer expectations of 21st century sporting facilities nor the requirements specifi ed by Scottish Governing Bodies of Sport for lighting levels, run-off s for courts (to prevent injury) and ceiling heights. In 2008, Edinburgh Council agreed to commission an appraisal for a new build facility at Meadowbank.

The design team has defi ned the core sport facility mix for a new Meadowbank as follows:• An outdoor athletics track with seating for 500• A 3G synthetic or grass sports pitch in the centre ofthe athletics track• An additional outdoor 3G synthetic sports pitch• An indoor 60m 6 lane athletics track with jumps area• outdoor throws area• An eight badminton court sports hall with 500permanent seats plus bleachers• A four badminton court sports hall with 500permanent seating• Gymnastics hall and gym• Studios, cafe & meeting rooms, changing facilities.

The current feasibility study has concluded to replace Meadowbank – a total estimated cost of £42m – the funding package would comprisecapital receipt from sale of surplus land on site; revenue savings fromclosure during construction; prudential borrowing funded from forecastimprovement in net income and a sportscotland grant. Utilising thesesources, the projected funding shortfall is £6.8 million. The Council’sadvisers have identifi ed a funding shortfall of between £11.3m and£19.8m, using a range of diff ering estimates for land value receipts andthe external grant.

The redevelopment of the sports centre will release development land of approximately 12 acres. It is envisaged that this land can be developed for residential and student accommodation.

The business case for the new Meadowbank demonstrates that after the fi rst year of its operation, the new facility is projected to generate a surplus in each of the following nine years. This business case, which was produced by The Sports Consultancy and reviewed by Edinburgh Leisure, will be regularly reviewed and updated if the project progresses.

The new facility would make a positive impact on the health, well-being and quality of life of those who use it. The facility is currently projected to attract over 600,000 visits per year by the second year of its operation. The current Meadowbank has just over 500,000 visits per year. The surplus land will provide residential and commercial development opportunities.

Site Name: Phase 1 Burghmuir Road


Location Address: Burghmuir Road, Stirling

Postcode: FK7 7GX


Development Type: Residential




PROJECT OVERVIEWPhase 1 is the first of 3 phases of the Viewforth site being offered for sale by Stirling council. The viewforth site comprises of a prime development site in the King’s Park area of Stirling adjacent to the city centre.

Phase 1Adjacent to Burghmuir Road, the site is long and narrow and bordered to the west by the Burghmuir embankment, a steeply wooded area. The rest of the site is relatively level and forms part of Stirling’s green corridor and any development should support and enhance this. The access requires to be upgraded by constructing the first 90 m of the link road to facilitate development of the site. In the master plan, the preferred proposal for phase 1 is for a series of six 3-4 storey pavilion blocks of flats. There is also potential to incorporate the site to the north of the link road, (currently Linden Avenue car park, in phase 3). Further discussion with Stirling Council roads department will be required re access arrangements for the existing private commercial units adjacent to the Linden Avenue roundabout. Future development sites will be released in due course.

Addresses the demand for city centre living. Registers of Scotland expect Stirling’s population to increase from 90,800 people to 104,300 (+16%) by 2037 and the number of households to increase from 38,300 to 49,400. The Housing Need & Demand Assessment suggests that the Council needs up to 2,600 private houses over the next ten years; up to 260 per year. Taking a more optimistic assumption about market recovery, the council needs an average of 380 private houses a year over the next 10 years.
