EDI has a track record of sucessful regeneration projects.
The restoration of our own headquarters, Dolphin House, represents the first piece in a jigsaw of a £15 million, 10-year regeneration of the Tron, led by EDI and delivered with a wide range of partners.
The award-winning project transformed an entire city block in Edinburgh's Old Town and introduced a range of imaginative new buildings into the fabric of the Old Town, to bring life back to the traditional streets and create places for people to live, work and enjoy themselves.
By taking an integrated approach we were able to exchange sites between various owners to better deliver this way of working which has been a central feature of our subsequent regeneration projects which include:
EDI's largest and most ambitious regeneration programme started in 2002, when we formed a new joint venture company – PARC Craigmillar Limited - with the City of Edinburgh Council, to redevelop Craigmillar which is one of the most deprived areas in Scotland.
PARC will deliver four new schools, shops, sports facilities, 2,000 new homes, a new town centre with 27,870 sq m (300,000 sq ft) of retail, leisure and office space and a new library. PARC will also create new public parks, across 61 hectares (150 acres) of land that will be thoughtfully redeveloped into a new public recreational landscape.
