Amazon agrees lorry park lease at £250m development on Forth

Amazon has signed up for a lease on four acres of lorry parking at the new Queensferry One development at Rosyth.

The ecommerce giant joins Lloyds Banking Group and Sainsbury's Bank as tenants at the £250 million development next to Forth Ports' Rosyth docks and the Babcock shipyard.

With easy access to the freight port, motorway and rail links, the site is being marketed as a major logistics hub.

Queensferry One, owned by Scarborough Muir Group, also involves 800,000 sq ft of industrial, manufacturing and logistics warehouses; 20,000 sq ft of retail and a 120-bed hotel.

William McAlister of 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.

“Attracting a premier distribution operation like Amazon to Queensferry One underlines its excellent location from a connectivity perspective, however the development is also ideal for industrial, manufacturing, energy, data and storage, financial, TMT, or waterside port sectors; it has it all.”

Queensferry One is being jointly marketed by JLL and Ryden. Prospective tenants can design and build premises on a lease or freehold basis.
