Forth Ports started regeneration activity at the waterfront in the 1980’s, leading in the 1990’s to the opening of the Malmaison Hotel, the development of the Scottish Executive building and Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre. By 2001, Western Harbour and Granton Harbour emerged as significant development sites and were granted outline planning consent in 2002 and 2003 respectively. Since achieving planning consent, a variety of national and local housing developers have committed to the construction of almost 1,500 homes.
In 2005, the Board announced an evolution of its property strategy to change the emphasis towards a greater focus on the maximisation of long-term asset value as opposed to the realisation of annual profits from development site disposals. To date, Forth Ports has invested over £100m in the regeneration process which underlines the Company’s long-term commitment to the waterfront area of the city.
