Office Accommodation

A key element of West Lothian?s popularity as a business location has been the confidence shown in the area by the private sector, which has invested heavily in office development. Office provision caters for a whole spectrum of business sizes, from small business start-ups to the corporate end of the market. Serviced office facilities, business centres, suites and stand alone developments are available.

Livingston is the major centre for office accommodation. The Almondvale Business Park offers high specification, self-contained office space of around 3,000 to 5,000 sq.m, close to the Town Centre. HSBC, Quintiles, GE Harris and the Scottish Executive are among those who have found space at Almondvale suited to their needs. Now owned by Cala Properties Ltd, a further 3000sqm office development, number six, is under construction and the Business Park's masterplan allows for a further 15,000 sq.m in a minimum of three self contained blocks.

Also in Livingston town centre, Esk Properties has secured a site at the west end of Almondvale Boulevard, where a recently completed hotel and restaurant development will be complemented by up to 10,000 sq.m of office space. www.livingstonhub.co.uk

The smaller end of the market complements such prestigious projects and there is strong demand for self contained units of 200 to 500 sq.m. Locations such as Quarrywood Court and Fairways Business Park have had strong support from local developers, and provide business occupiers with good quality space, as well as their own front door. New developments by Ashwood Scotland and Dunbar Management & Investment at Starlaw Park add to the range of choice for expanding businesses. New developments of small self contained offices by Business Homes and Errigal Developments which will be available for lease or sale will shortley start on site in Houstoun Industrial Estate.
