Just over a year after the start of construction, the 25,500 sq ft retail terrace at Straiton Retail Park has reached completion and has welcomed the first store, Starbucks, which is now open for takeaway.
The £13m development, built and managed by Peel L&P Retail Parks, will also be home to a new Greggs and Archers Sleepcentre, with opening dates yet to be confirmed.
Speaking on the completion of the site, Peel L&P Retail Parks development manager Leah Taylor said: “The Terrace at Straiton Retail Park was originally earmarked for completion in Summer 2020. With the coronavirus pandemic affecting works slightly, we’re pleased to welcome Starbucks to the park for our customers to enjoy. I would like to thank Muir Construction for their hard work and commitment over the past 12 months, we can’t wait for our customers to see the final result.”
Works and investment in the Midlothian retail park will continue into 2021 as plans have been submitted for the redevelopment of the lower terrace, with £15m set to be spent on improvements to make room for new property partners.
