Proposals for a hotel at a Scottish shopping centre have been given the thumbs up by planners, who seem pretty excited about it. The plans are aimed at securing the future of the shopping centre, which apparently is a big deal because it’s the largest private sector employer in the area. That’s a lot of jobs on the line, so it’s no wonder they’re trying to make sure things stay afloat.
The proposal is for a 109-bedroom hotel at Cameron Toll in Edinburgh, and it’s been backed by planners in a fancy new report. The brains behind this operation are Franklin Real Asset Advisor Value-Add (FRAA) and Hunter REIM, who are no strangers to big projects. They’re the same folks who brought us the Ruby Hotel proposals in Princes Street, so you know they mean business.
Cameron Toll has been around since 1984, serving as a hub for shopping and leisure in South Edinburgh. Despite facing some challenges along the way, the developers believe in its resilience and adaptability. They’ve even managed to navigate road works and burst water pipes like pros, showing that they can handle just about anything that comes their way. It’s like they’re the superheroes of shopping centres or something.
