Amazon agrees lorry park lease in Scotland

Scarborough Muir Group has secured Amazon as a tenant for its £250m Queensferry One development at Rosyth in Fife, Scotland. Amazon has agreed a new lease on four acres of land at the site, which it will use as a lorry park. The development measures 120 acres in total. It will provide some 800,000 sq ft of industrial, manufacturing and logistics warehouses, with a further 20,000 sq ft of retail and a 120-bedroom hotel. William McAlister, property director at Scarborough Muir Group, said: “Despite recent market turbulence as a result of Brexit, Queensferry One is experiencing good levels of enquiries, which is testament to its exceptionally strong strategic location.” Ross Jubin of Scarborough International Properties added: “This is the start of a new era for Queensferry One. The Amazon deal is the start of what we see as a very active period of new developments in Rosyth, and the group is now considering speculative development and is in the final stages of progressing a major prelet.” JLL and Ryden are jointly marketing freehold and leasehold space at Queensferry One.   To send feedback, e-mail pui-guan.man@egi.co.uk or tweet @PuiGuanM or @estatesgazette
