Tony Hordon, managing director of Parabola, welcomed Chris to his new role in-house with Parabola.

He said: “Chris has been leading the design and master planning work on Edinburgh Park since 2015 and is an established part of the Parabola team. We are delighted that he has joined Parabola and look forward to enjoying Chris’ thoughtful and incisive approach to the ongoing development of Edinburgh’s zero carbon quarter Edinburgh Park which will be an exemplar community in terms of design, technology, place-making and benefits from an inspirational team.”

Chris Milan added: “I am greatly looking forward to the new challenge of working with Parabola and realising our shared goals for Edinburgh Park. I have been fortunate in my career to work with some visionary, creative people and Parabola rightly has a reputation for encouraging best practice.”
