Offering a range of flexible accommodation options and surrounded by high-quality shared spaces, Queensferry One is designed to suit a range of uses, from heavy engineering buildings to high-quality distribution facilities.

Fully serviced sites are immediately available or alternatively design and build opportunities can be tailored to individual occupiers’ requirements.

Location

Queensferry One occupies an unrivalled location alongside the Queensferry Crossing and M90 motorway, providing immediate road access to the whole of Central Scotland and beyond.

The site benefits from excellent public transport links allowing connectivity between local areas and the main cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the nearby Inverkeithing train station is on the main east coast line providing a fast service to and from London and Aberdeen.

Its direct frontage onto the Firth of Forth and adjoining deep water port not only offers alternative shipping solutions for goods unsuitable for transport by rail, road or air, but also features spectacular views across the Forth Estuary.
