Law firm Clyde & Co is relocating its Edinburgh office, moving from its current premises at Albany House to Saltire Court, a landmark Grade A building in the heart of the city’s Exchange District.
Global real-estate adviser CBRE, working alongside Cushman & Wakefield, secured the move on behalf of the landlord. Clyde & Co has signed a 10-year lease and is expected to take occupancy later this year. Property consultants, CuthbertWhite represented Clyde & Co in the transaction.
Saltire Court is one of Edinburgh’s most recognisable Grade A office buildings, with its sweeping colonnade, distinctive circular tower and five-storey entrance with framed views of Edinburgh Castle.
Following an extensive refurbishment in 2019, it combines striking architecture with bright, spacious interiors designed for modern working. The building also has a double-atrium reception with 24-hour security. In addition, it offers two on-site dining options – the award-winning DINE brasserie and the Traverse café and bar.
Chris Cuthbert, director at CuthbertWhite commented: “We’ve been very busy advising Clyde & Co on their portfolio in Scotland over the last two years. They tasked us with unearthing 12,000 square feet in Edinburgh that represented sensible value and a significant step up from Albany House. Their aim was always to repurpose fit out where possible, which we did by securing a space previously used by the legal sector.”
Angela Lowe, head of office leasing for Scotland at CBRE added: “With its striking design, excellent sustainability credentials and on-site amenities, Saltire Court offers an outstanding working environment in one of Edinburgh’s best-connected locations. We are pleased to have secured this letting on behalf of our client.
