Parc Craigmillar
Following an intense competition and interview process, CBA are delighted to have been selected by Parc Craigmillar as a preferred QS bidder for the new framework of consultants for the next phase of this massive regeneration project.
Craigmillar is one of Edinburgh’s peripheral estates, built in the 1930s to house the families decanted from the Cowgate slums. In the post-war period, local breweries and coal mining provided plenty of employment but, in the last two decades, the population has dropped from 25,000 to 7,800. Today it is ranked fourth on the Scottish Executive’s index of multiple deprivation, 33% of the population are unemployed or on incapacity benefit and the area has become increasingly isolated from the economic and social life of the city.
In 2004 the EDI Group and City of Edinburgh Council joined forces to create PARC, a joint venture company formed to undertake the regeneration of the area. PARC plans to create 2,200 new homes for sale or rent, with other developers contributing 1,000. It will also create four new schools, a new library, a new town centre and 300,000ft2 of retail, leisure and office space.
Parc Craigmillar takes its name from the new public parkland, including recreational areas, woodland and allotments, which will cover a 150-acre site between Craigmillar and the Royal Infirmary. CBA will provide quantity surveying and employer’s agency services within Framework 2.
