Scarborough Muir Group (SMG) has confirmed plans to speculatively develop a new 50,000ft² industrial and logistics unit at Queensferry One in Rosyth, Scotland, within the Forth Green Freeport.
The scheme, known as Q1 50, follows enabling works supported by the UK Government’s Site Accelerator Grant. It will be located on the 110-acre, former Ministry of Defence site, with capacity to deliver more than 1.2 million ft² of logistics and industrial space.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the unit can be configured as a single facility or subdivided for multiple occupiers. Specifications include a 10m clear height, high floor loadings, EV charging infrastructure and up to 1 MVA of power. The building is targeting BREEAM ‘Very Good’ and EPC ‘A’ certification.
Muir Construction has been appointed as principal contractor. Construction is expected to begin following completion of enabling works, and the unit is expected to be ready for occupation in 2027.
William McAlister, spokesperson for SMG, said the decision reflects “sustained demand for high-quality space in strong, well-connected locations,” adding that the scheme offers occupiers “a compelling combination of scale, connectivity and Green Freeport status.”
Agents CBRE and Colliers said the project represents a rare opportunity amid constrained supply.
Queensferry One is located adjacent to Junction 1 of the M90, the Queensferry Crossing and the Port of Rosyth, providing strong road, rail, sea and air connectivity to Central Scotland, the wider UK and international markets. Reportedly, it is the first phase of development within the Forth Green Freeport.
The site also sits within an established industrial area supporting manufacturing, maritime, defence and renewable energy businesses.
