The Carlyle Group has announced that thetrainline.com is to relocate its Edinburgh operations to the Tanfield office scheme on Inverleith Row.

Thetrainline.com, an independent retailer of online train tickets, has signed a 10-year lease for 1,114 m2 on the ground floor of the building. It is expected to take occupation in October 2010, following the completion of the fit-out. The move across the City from Princes Street will support any future business expansion plans.

The refurbished Tanfield development offers flexible and affordable Grade A office space with 295 secure underground car parking spaces. The development has been designed to accommodate a wide range of tenant requirements, from SMEs to major corporate headquarters. The other tenant at Tanfield is AECOM, who moved into the building in 2009, on completion of the £20 mln (EUR 23.4 mln) refurbishment, which was the former headquarters of Standard Life.

The Carlyle Group was advised by Ryden and CBRE and thetrainline.com was advised by DTZ.
