The Ettrick Riverside Business Centre is now under the watch of Corespace, following a sale by South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE).
The move sees SOSE step away from social landlord responsibilities and allows Corespace to continue to operate the building as a hub for businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals in the region.
Jane Morrison-Ross, chief executive of SOSE, said: “We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Corespace for the future ownership of Ettrick Riverside Business Centre.
“Finding the right buyer was incredibly important to us. We wanted an organisation with the experience, ambition and commitment to ensure the building continues to serve the needs of businesses across the Borders for many years to come.
“Corespace has an excellent track record of operating successful business centres across the South of Scotland, and we are confident they will build upon the strong foundations already in place at Ettrick Riverside.
“This sale enables SOSE to focus our resources on our core mission of stimulating economic growth and supporting businesses, social enterprises and communities throughout the South of Scotland.”
The business centre will be rebranded as Corespace Selkirk at Ettrick and will offer professional, fully serviced office accommodation.
Hugh Mulgrew, managing director of Corespace, added: “We are delighted to acquire Ettrick Riverside and become part of the business community of Selkirk and the Scottish Borders.
“This is one of the most impressive business centres in the South of Scotland, and we look forward to building on the excellent work undertaken by SOSE.
“Our ambition is to create a vibrant and supportive environment where businesses can thrive, while preserving the unique character of this remarkable building.
“We are excited to welcome existing tenants and future occupiers to what will become Corespace Selkirk.”
