Today saw the official launch of the sales and information centre for parclife in Edinburgh. We trotted along at the appointed hour to find the place that 3 weeks ago, looked something more like a building site, now swarming with people.
Andrew Skakel, of Skakel and Skakel fame, should be highly commended for his imaginative building design.The place looks great. Not at all what you'd expect from essentially a marketing suite.
Various local dignitaries spoke in honour of the occasion. And to my secret delight (though I hid it well), John-Mark, director of the EDI Group, thanked us as the insightful "imagineers" who had created and then brought to life the parclife brand. I've never been called an imagineer before.
But the icing on the cake came when what appears to be the site dog - mascot, someone suggested - darted past the window. He's a little terrier type thing (can you tell I know nothing about dogs??) who's put in an appearance at various meetings before now. An interesting and unusual accessory for a bunch of new houses.
If you're looking to buy exceptional value for money 2 or 3 bed apartments in Edinburgh, go see (the apartments and the dog). The centre opens to all at the end of the month.
