Future Development & Regeneration |

Quay Success

Edinburgh Quay adjoins the cityÕs Exchange Financial District and has been instrumental in shifting the recognised prime office core to the cityÕs southwest.

Edinburgh Quay is located at 
the Lochrin Basin in Fountainbridge and completes the Edinburgh end of The Millennium Link - the £84.5m restoration of the Forth & Clyde and Union canals*.
 The project represents two firsts 
for Scotland: the first public-private development venture for British Waterways and the first canal side mixed-use development.

Quay 1
Completed in December 2004, 
Phase 1 of the development Ð involving 80,000 sq ft of office space, seven restaurant units including Cargo, Zizzi, Embark and the Clubhouse, and over 60 luxury apartments Ð has transformed the canal basin into a truly cosmopolitan environment.  Edinburgh QuayÕs focal point is an elegant office tower.

Quay 2
Quay 2, the second phase of the scheme, was completed in January 2007; it comprises 60,000 sq ft of office space and tenants include Baker Tilly, 
Barclays Bank plc, Lloyds TSB Bank plc and Circle Health Ltd.

With the canal basin at the heart of 
the development, Quay 2 completes the regeneration project that has transformed the area around 
Lochrin Basin (once home to run-
down workshops and an empty 
office building) into a landmark development which will serve as a hub for future schemes in Fountainbridge. The canal itself was drained and cleaned after suffering from 
a lack of interest as many people 
in Edinburgh were unaware that 
it came so far into the city.

* The £84.5m Millennium Link project 
re-opened ScotlandÕs Lowland canals Ð 
the 56km Forth & Clyde Canal and 50km 
Union Canal Ð and linked them through 
The Falkirk Wheel.

Baker Tilly 
Baker Tilly merged its Edinburgh office with Scott 
& Paterson in April 2007. The merger was the largest of its kind in ScotlandÕs accountancy industry since the late-1990s and created the largest accountancy and business advisory practice outside the Big Four in ScotlandÕs Central Belt. Following the merger 
in Edinburgh, the combined offices relocated to a new 
city HQ at Edinburgh Quay 2.
Bill Davidson, Managing Partner of Baker TillyÕs Edinburgh office, said: ÒOur move to Quay 2 in the heart 
of EdinburghÕs new financial district in September 2007 has contributed to us exceeding our business development aspirations to date and has given us further opportunity for significant growth in the business advisory market in Edinburgh. We are very pleased with our choice of location 
at Quay 2.ÓÊÊ
