Located at Edinburgh Park, the comprehensively redeveloped building has been designed to meet the evolving needs of occupiers seeking premium workspace with strong ESG credentials and a focus on employee wellbeing.

The latest Q1 market figures highlight the ongoing supply constraints within Edinburgh’s office market, with Grade A availability standing at just 5.5%. In particular, there is a notable shortage of suitable options for occupiers seeking larger requirements of 30,000 sq ft and above.

Offering up to 82,272 sq ft of redesigned accommodation, 3 Lochside Avenue includes a new café lounge, collaborative event spaces, a roof terrace overlooking Loch Ross, and flexible floorplates designed to support a range of occupier requirements.

The all-electric building benefits from an EPC A rating and incorporates a range of sustainability-focused features including photovoltaic roof panels, energy-efficient heat pumps, LED lighting with PIR and daylight controls, electric vehicle charging points and extensive cycle facilities.

To mark the launch, CCLA and appointed letting agent CBRE hosted an exclusive preview event for Scottish office agents, providing a first look at the transformed workspace and the significant investment undertaken to reposition the building as a future-focused workplace.

As part of the event, Scottish coffee roaster Matthew Algie hosted a coffee tasting experience, reflecting the growing importance of hospitality, wellbeing and premium occupier amenities within modern office environments.

CCLA’s investment comes at a time when Edinburgh’s Grade A office market continues to face a shortage of high-quality sustainable workspace, with occupiers increasingly prioritising buildings that support both net zero ambitions and employee experience.

Matthew Meaden, deputy head of property at CCLA Investment Management, said: “Sustainability and occupier wellbeing have been central to our vision for 3 Lochside Avenue. We wanted to create a workspace that performs strongly from an environmental perspective while also delivering an exceptional experience for the people working there every day.

“The building combines high-quality, flexible office accommodation with the amenities and sense of community that modern occupiers increasingly expect. Edinburgh Park offers a unique environment where businesses can benefit from excellent connectivity alongside a thriving amenity and wellbeing offering on the doorstep.

“The significant investment into 3 Lochside Avenue reflects our confidence in the continued demand for best-in-class sustainable workspace in Edinburgh.”

Angela Lowe, senior director and head of Edinburgh at CBRE, said: “3 Lochside Avenue represents exactly the type of workspace occupiers are actively seeking - highly sustainable, amenity-rich and designed to support modern patterns of work. There is a clear shortage of best-in-class Grade A space across Edinburgh, particularly buildings with strong ESG performance already embedded, and we expect the scheme to generate significant occupier interest.

“The investment made by CCLA has completely repositioned the asset, creating a workplace environment that responds directly to current market demand.”

Beyond the building itself, occupiers at 3 Lochside Avenue benefit from Edinburgh Park’s established and growing amenity offering, which has helped position it as one of Scotland’s leading business destinations.

The campus provides immediate access to independent café and bakery Patina, padel courts, fitness and wellbeing facilities, landscaped outdoor spaces and extensive walking and cycling routes, alongside excellent tram, rail and road connectivity.

As occupiers continue to prioritise high-quality, low-carbon office environments, 3 Lochside Avenue is expected to further strengthen Edinburgh Park’s position as one of Scotland’s premier business destinations.
