Kirkcaldy Waterfront Development

Kirkcaldy is located within Fife, on the east coast of Scotland, and has a population of just over 50,000. The town lies 29 miles north of Edinburgh and 31 miles south of Dundee. Fife’s other major towns of Glenrothes and Dunfermline are 7 miles to the north and 14 miles to the south-west respectively and St Andrews is 25 miles to the north-east.

The A92 dual carriageway provides access from the north and south linking to the M90 motorway, and the town has a train station on the east coast main line with journey times of around 45 minutes to Edinburgh and Dundee.

One of Kirkcaldy’s most significant assets is its extensive waterfront to the Forth. Significant investment has been made in undertaking improvements to the sea wall and a promenade offering opportunities for walking and cycling allowing people to take advantage of the magnificent sea views.

The waterfront offers a unique opportunity to support the regeneration of the town centre. Interest is being sought from developers who are able to deliver an exciting new vision for the town centre and this waterfront location.

A Design and Development Framework has been prepared setting out the key design and development principles that should be considered as part of any redevelopment of the cleared site.

• Potential for landmark building
• Active building fronts to provide visual and physical activity and interest
• 3-5 storey height
• Contemporary architecture
• Opportunities for commercial, residential, restaurant and retail uses
• High quality landscaping
• Maximise views from waterfront elevations

Interest is being sought from experienced developers who can demonstrate that they can meet the aspirations of the Design and Development Framework and realise the investment opportunity that the site offers to support the continued regeneration of the town centre.
