Spotlight: Edinburgh: a global city in demand

■ Edinburgh retains 42% of its graduates, creating an attractive talent pool to draw in global occupiers.

■ Population and household growth have outpaced development within the City. This has increased pressure on the city’s housing market, and created opportunities for the region.

■ As Edinburgh’s boundaries become looser, strategic infrastructure will be imperative in planning for Edinburgh’s future growth.

■ Edinburgh St James will relieve the pent up demand for larger retail units to the east of the city and intensify competition among office occupiers for prime space.

■ An additional 2,400 hotel rooms will support Edinburgh airport’s five-year investment plan to increase passenger numbers to 16.5 million by 2021.
