The redevelopment of the Esk Mills started in the late 1980's by Malcolm Gillies who purchased the various parts of the old mill over a few years. The redevelopment included demolition of and ground clearance of some of the factory units, restoration of building facades and new build. The interiors of the buildings have been completely remodelled in modern materials and to present day building standards. The mill now offers 100,000 sq. ft. of office space, currently at 85% occupancy.

The final stage in development is Archibald Hope House which has been converted into a two-storey building similar to Adam Ferguson House, offering nearly 20,000 sq. ft. of office space. The building is now ready for interior fitting as large unit or possibly smaller units therein if required. In keeping with current business trends, an element of flexible office space is being incorporated into Eskmills Park with 11,000 sq. ft. being turned over to this. Smaller office units from a few hundred sq. ft. up to 3400 sq. ft. are available for short and long term lease. Offices can come fully equipped with links to a managed communal computer network (if required) and digital telephony system with the latest broadband internet/ data communications systems.

The restaurant ("The Glasshouse at Eskmills") opened in December 2006. Already proving a great hit for local residents and visitors to the town. Sited in the central courtyard, the tenants are also finding the new restaurant extremely tempting for light lunches and for business lunches.
