Charlie MacGregor, founder and CEO of The Social Hub, said the plans are an “opportunity to give something back” and help shape the local community for the better.
“This is a very special moment for me; it’s something I’ve hoped for and worked towards for many years. Edinburgh is my home city and part of my DNA,” he said.
“This is an opportunity to give something back and help shape a bold, positive future for Fountainbridge. We always want the local community to help shape our hubs and would encourage anyone with views about our plans to share them.”
The Social Hub will host public consultation events in Fountainbridge on December 8 and January 26.
Visits to the company’s Glasgow hub will also be arranged, as bosses at the firm hope it will help give locals a feel for the impact it has made in the city’s Candleriggs area.
“The success of Glasgow has shown what we can achieve in Scotland and I am so excited to see how we can make the same kind of impact in this wonderful city,” MacGregor added.
“The Social Hub is more than a place to stay – it’s a hub where people from all backgrounds come together, help create a better society, and achieve extraordinary things.”
The Social Hub opened in Glasgow last year where the hybrid hospitality destination has helped curate major events in the city, from the international comedy and film festivals to The Better Society Academy, headlined by the First Minister, John Swinney.
A certified B Corp, The Social Hub is known for transforming underused public spaces and supporting community-building.
Its Glasgow hub hosts more than 600 events per year, including film premieres, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and skill-building workshops
Nick Waugh, commercial property director at Buccleuch, added: “We are delighted to be working with The Social Hub to provide the last important piece of the approved masterplan and such a complementary use for the site.”
