Calton Square PR

Mixed-use development in lea of Calton Hill. This site had lain empty for 40 years as the Council slugged it out with various developers. The last scheme was rejected by the planners for being too boring, but the completed building is far from dull.

The project comes in two parts: one - omniedinburgh - includes shops, restaurants, health club and a 12-screen cinema for Warner Village Cinemas; the other - Calton Square - is a massive office development, two-thirds of which the Baillie Gifford will occupy as its new headquarters. The last protective wrapping is due to be removed October 2002.

Approx. build cost of Calton Square: £45m
