The leader of the City of Edinburgh Council has officially opened Drum Property Group's Red Sandstone building following a major refurbishment project.

The two-storey building extends from 106 to 154 Leith Walk and provides open-plan first floor business suites housed above a row of shops, cafes, restaurants and a bar and arts venue.

The opening of the building is tipped to capitalise on renewed interest in the area following the launch of the new tramline connecting Edinburgh city centre with the port of Leith and Newhaven.

This block was built by the LMS in 1935 in front of their goods station. The first floor supposedly was occupied by the goods station office, but the whole floor seems excessive for a not very big operation, even by the labour-intensive standards of the time. There is a plan to demolish the block and replace it with multi-storey student accommodation, This is being vigorously opposed by the 'Save Our Leith Walk' campaign who think there are enough student student flats. I'm staying neutral.
