Clyde & Co has agreed a deal to relocate its Edinburgh office from Albany House to Saltire Court in the heart of the city’s Exchange District.
The international law firm has signed a 10-year lease on 12,000 sq ft of office space at Saltire Court and is expected to take occupancy later this year.
Chris Cuthbert, director at CuthbertWhite, which represented Clyde & Co on the letting, said: “We’ve been very busy advising Clyde & Co on their portfolio in Scotland over the last two years and they tasked us with unearthing 12,000 sq ft 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. Alongside the ESG credentials listed above, the acquisition was a shrewd one for the firm.”
Angela Lowe, head of office leasing for Scotland at CBRE, which alongside Cushman & Wakefield acted for the landlord on the letting, 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 and look forward to welcoming Clyde & Co later this year.”
