Global real estate advisor CBRE is marketing a rare commercial development opportunity at Sheriffhall Interchange, a 60-acre site located on the Edinburgh City Bypass.
Zoned for employment use, the site represents one of the most significant mixed-use development opportunities in the Central Scotland market.
It is strategically 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.
The location is close to Sheriffhall Park & Ride and Shawfair Station on the Borders Railway line, providing direct services to Edinburgh Waverley. Edinburgh City Centre and Edinburgh Airport are both within a 20-minute drive, ensuring excellent connectivity.
The site comprises a level site with multiple access points. It offers scope for large-scale commercial, industrial and motor dealershipssubject to planning. Transport Scotland is to upgrade the Sheriffhall Interchange, which will improve traffic flow and accessibility across the region.
The industrial market across Central Scotland continues to face a significant shortage of available accommodation for industrial, warehouse and manufacturing uses.
According to CoStar, the regional vacancy rate has now fallen below 2%, with occupier demand constrained by limited existing and pipeline supply. Development opportunities remain scarce, with many suitable sites allocated within Local Development Plans for residential or alternative uses such as student accommodation or Build to Rent.
Established industrial estates are operating at or near full capacity, driving sustained growth in both rental and land values.
Bryce Stewart, Senior Director at CBRE Scotland, says: “This is a rare opportunity to secure a development site of genuine scale and strategic importance within the Scotland market. SheriffhallInterchange 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.
“With strong connectivity, proximity to Edinburgh’s workforce and flexibility for a range of employment uses, we expect significant interest from both national and international parties.”
