Haymarket hotel and shops development to be built in summer
A £200m development with hotel, offices and shops is to be built in Edinburgh's Haymarket in the summer, following several years of delay.
The large site has lain dormant for years due to a long-running planning battle then the economic downturn.
The development already has full planning consent and has the potential to create 3,500 jobs.
Potential for cycle path link between Haymarché and the Springside Slalom?
Tesco and serviced apartments provider Staycity have already signed up while food chains Prezzo and Pret A Manger have committed for the second phase of the development.
Great! Just what Edinburgh needs. We don't have nearly enough Tescos or expensive chain sandwich shops.
