Investors

As the regeneration of the area continues to take shape there will be increasing opportunities to invest in Irvine Bay. 

Plans are in place for the regeneration of the centres of the five towns in the area, creating significant retail and business investment opportunities. New business accommodation is being created, suitable for start-ups, SMEs and larger organisations by refurbishing old buildings and making better use of post-industrial land.

The regeneration plans identify particular priority industries and Irvine Bay Regeneration Company is looking for investors to partner with on major projects.

With plans in place to reverse the trend of industrial decline in the area, together with our partners, we are able to provide support and advice  to relocating businesses.

Irvine Innovation and Industry - or i3 - is one of Scotland's most significant inward investment locations. Previously known as the Riverside Business Park, the aim for the site is that it will become south west Scotland’s leading innovation and industrial investment location.

The £60m golf development, The Ayrshire, is an example of major investment in the area, building on existing strengths of this corner of Scotland as an important golf tourism destination.

Brian Keating, Director of The Ayrshire:

A lot of people forget that while St Andrews is the spiritual soul of golf, Ayrshire is definitely the heart of golf. It’s where the Open started and it’s close to Prestwick Airport which brings in hundreds of thousands of European golfers every year to play in Scotland.
