Eastgate Shopping Centre
Inverness

Client: Royal & Sun Alliance Life & Pensions Ltd/ISIS Asset Management

Budget: £55m

This development links both the High Street and the original Eastgate Shopping Mall to a new civic square and the railway station beyond, creating an urban focal point. The use of locally-sourced Clashach stone complements the building’s surroundings and relates well to a listed, former foundry building that has been rebuilt on the north side of Falcon Square.

Planned around a central, glazed dome, the two-storey shopping atrium, provides Inverness with an additional 190,000 sq ft of retail space, together with parking for 700 cars . The project also involved complete refurbishment of the existing Eastgate premises and included a new retail bridge over Milburn Road to link both old and new shopping centres.
