A host of Edinburgh office schemes have hit the buffers due to the failing market in the Scottish capital. Projects by Allan Murray Architects, Bennetts Associates and Broadway Malyan are winding down as their developer clients struggle to find funding from lenders. The news follows the announcement that Edinburgh-based Malcolm Eraser Architects has let go of eight architects, despite winning the ￡3 million Stromness Pierhead competition this week. Fellow Edinburgh practice Allan Murray Architects' office proposals at Fountainbridge have geared down despite securing planning permission. Murray told the AJ: 'I think everybody would say the industry is slowing at the moment, and we're no different.' Broadway Malyan's Osborne House office refurbishment and Bennetts Associates' refurbish- ment of a block on Torphichen Street are both on hold due to a sharp fall in the pre-let markets.
