Bell Hammer has announced it has completed demolition and site clearance for the development of Rosebery, a 150,000 sq ft prime office scheme in Edinburgh city centre, owned by Aviva Investors, the asset management business of Aviva plc.

Located on Haymarket, Rosebery sits adjacent to Edinburgh’s most connected commuter hub, with mainline rail, trams, buses and roads serving Scotland’s principal transport network. Haymarket continues to establish as a prime office location in Edinburgh, with Baillie Gifford moving into their new headquarters in Q4 2025, as well as Shepherd & Wedderburn, Deloitte and other major corporates also locating nearby.

Rosebery has been designed by 3DReid Architects and combines a striking presence with innovative technology to create a future-proofed net zero carbon building.

With a double height reception, generous shared spaces, private and communal external terraces with exceptional views over Edinburgh’s skyline, glazed rooftop event space, and comprehensive end of journey facilities, Rosebery aims to attract and retain the best talent for the most dynamic businesses.

Colin Hall of Bell Hammer commented, “We are delighted to be developing what many consider to be the best new office scheme in Edinburgh, if not Scotland. Bell Hammer see Rosebery as a prime example of the opportunity to take advantage of the shortage of new Grade A space in a restricted market.”

Julian Cobourne, Head of Regional Investment Management at Aviva Investors added, “We believe the scheme at Rosebery will be a landmark building and a flagship office asset in the city. Sitting at the heart of one of Edinburgh’s best-connected locations and with planning consent in place, this is a scheme designed to provide outstanding facilities, supporting Edinburgh’s credentials as a compelling destination for world-leading businesses.”

The letting agents for the development are Cushman & Wakefield and JLL.
