While developers argue the building is outdated and inefficient, architects and Historic Environment Scotland defend its modernist design and structural integrity. The new plan also includes a long-awaited public route and pocket parks, with a planning application expected in September. With the current lease running until 2033, any redevelopment is still years away — but this is one of Edinburgh’s most watched urban transformation projects.
