[edit]Updated the Design and History for latest information regarding the Edinburgh Future Institute and the main surgical building. Mark April 2018
Hi,
I wondered if I can request an edit to this page as much of the information is wrong and out of date. I cannot do it myself as I am involved with the project. I have pulled together the following text and wondered if it could be incorporated. Please let me know if you need any further info.
Thanks
Katy
Suggested version
[edit]Located on the site of the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, Quartermile[1] was master-planned by architect Foster + Partners[2] and takes its name from the fact it is a quarter mile from Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile and measures a quarter mile from corner to corner.
About Quartermile
The 19 acre mixed use development comprises[3] a mix of turreted 18th Century buildings housing conversion properties, new build apartments, Grade A office space [4] and retail space.[5] Quartermile is due to be completed in 2018. Once complete, Quartermile will provide[6] over 900 apartments, 30,000 sq m of Grade A office accommodation, 10,000 sq m of retail and leisure space and seven acres of open landscaping.
Quartermile is located[7] in the old town within a world heritage site on the northern edge of the Meadows.
Owners
The development was sold by Lloyds Banking Group to property investor Moorfield in September 2013[8][9]. The development is managed by Quartermile Management Services Ltd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.197.199 (talk) 11:53, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi there,
Please find below updates for the Quartermile page regarding its development. If you have any questions or queries, please do let me know.

Quartermile is a £750m mixed-use development project by Edinburgh developer Qmile Group. Master planned by architects Foster + Partners, the development was completed in 2018 and includes more than 1,000 apartments, 370,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, 65,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space and seven-acres of open landscape [1].

Quartermile is located on the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary site which was sold by Lothian University Hospital’s NHS Trust in 2001 [2]. The Quartermile development also houses the Edinburgh Futures Institute, which is the University of Edinburgh’s interdisciplinary hub [3].
In 2017 all commercial units were fully sold or let. Quartermile’s occupiers include travel company Skyscanner, hardware and software solutions supplier Cirrus Logic, and legal firms Morton Fraser and Maclay Murrays & Spens [4]. Additionally, the commercial office building, Quartermile One, has won the Scottish Regional Award for Best Commercial Space in the British Council for Offices Awards [5].

- RS Qmile you need to explain if your text is a replacement or an addition: the template instructions say "Clearly indicate which sections or phrases should be replaced or added to, and what they should be replaced with or have added. Examples: Change X to Y; Insert X after/before Y; Remove X." TSventon (talk) 14:08, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hey RS Qmile,
- Came here to say exactly what TSventon did. Explain exactly what you want to replace, ideally in a list we can respond point-by-point to.
- Additionally, a few points:
- The Q4 brochure is a primary source and will not work. See WP:RS.
- Focus on informational changes, not language changes. I don't see a reason to change "It was master-planned by architect Foster + Partners" to "Master planned by architects Foster + Partners, the development was..."
- Hope that helps you and ping us when you've made changes.
