PROPERTY investors have secured planning permission to develop a £35 million logistics park in Edinburgh.
The Capital Park development in the Sighthill area of the city will feature 18 units. One has been pre-let to builders’ merchant Travis Perkins.
The development will be delivered by a joint venture formed by Chancerygate and Bridges Fund Management.
The venture acquired the site in April in a move that reflected confidence in the prospects for the Edinburgh economy.
Chancerygate development director, Mike Walker, said the scheme would provide urban logistics and trade counter space to serve Edinburgh’s “increasingly active and dynamic” small and medium sized enterprise sector.
He added: “The development has already attracted a considerable amount of interest.”

The Capital Park development will be completed on the site of the Grayfield House office complex, which was used by HM Revenue and Customs staff for years.
The site lies close to car showrooms, campuses operated by Edinburgh College and Edinburgh Napier University and a Burton’s Biscuits factory.
Galbraith & Co and Ryden are agents for the Capital Park development.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
