BAM & Hermes greenlight speculative Edinburgh office build
October 12 2017
Delivery of Capital Square will begin later this month at the junction of Morrison Street and Lothian Road, providing eight floors of Grade A accommodation for 1,400 workers by 2020 in what would be the largest speculative development currently underway in the city.
Dougie Peters, managing director, BAM Properties, said, “The city continues to suffer from a lack of Grade A supply with strong demand from occupiers for new space. We have a great partner and project team in place providing us with all the right ingredients to undertake a speculative development of this quality.”
Planning permission for the Hurd Rolland designed block was granted in 2015 including private south facing gardens and rooftop terraces.

#1. I believe they're demolishing the disused 'Sky Park' that lies directly behind 60 Morrison Street. The new build will sit on this site, as well as a portion of the outdoor car park.

Edinburgh doesn't need a vote of confidence thank you very much. From Bams or otherwise.

Completely out of scale with context...double height mega frame mounting the rear of the now diminutive Morrison St office. Crass description for an equally crass architectural approach. Perhaps they should increase the height of the token topiary to hide the error in judgement.
