Freer Street is a key site in the evolution of Edinburgh’s Financial District. Prominent to Fountainbridge, a main thoroughfare into
central Edinburgh, it also enjoys an extensive frontage to the Union Canal.
This area of Edinburgh is one of the city’s most vibrant new mixed use quarters, and the opportunity to secure a key development
site at the heart of this growth area is rarely available.
Location
The Freer Street site is located on Fountainbridge, on the south side of Edinburgh’s Finance District, and at the centre of a dynamic area of development. It lies adjacent to the highly successful Edinburgh Quay development, which encompasses high quality apartments and leisure facilities, along with 140,000 sq ft of offices. Surrounding developments include HBOS’s proposed Headquarters site, Grosvenor and AMA’s 8 acre mixed use development at Springside, and Scottish Widows 210,000 sq ft Grade A
office development at Exchange Place.
This vibrant, mixed use environment benefits from an extensive frontage to the Union Canal and a high profile situation on Fountainbridge, one of the key approaches into Edinburgh.
This places it within 20 minutes drive of Edinburgh airport, and within 15 minutes drive of Edinburgh’smotorway network.

The site is approximately 2.38 acres (0.963 hectares) and is outlined in orange for identification purposes only on the OS Plan below. It benefits from direct frontage to the Union Canal towpath, and to Fountainbridge, and is accessed from a road shared with the Edinburgh Quay development.
