4 Dec
Summary
- Argyle House in Edinburgh could be redeveloped into a hotel and residential complex.
- The building was featured as a police station exterior in a Netflix drama.
- The redevelopment plans are being considered before the lease expires in 2033.
Artist's impressions have been unveiled for the significant redevelopment of Edinburgh's Argyle House, a building recognized for its role in the Netflix series Dept Q. Located at West Port, the 1960s brutalist structure, which served as the exterior for the police station in the drama, is slated for a comprehensive transformation.
The proposed "mixed-use" development aims to replace the existing building with a dynamic complex. This new vision includes a hotel, residential properties, and commercial spaces for offices and retail, promising to revitalize the area. Developer Hendersonherd is behind these ambitious plans.
These proposals are being proactively considered ahead of the building's lease expiration in 2033. The timing is intended to ensure a smooth transition and continuous economic benefit for the city of Edinburgh from the regenerated site, securing its future contribution.
