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. CuthbertWhite represented Clyde & Co in the transaction.

Saltire Court is one of Edinburgh’s most recognisable Grade A office buildings, celebrated for its sweeping colonnade, distinctive circular tower and grand five-storey entrance with framed views of Edinburgh Castle.

Situated in Exchange District, the property offers outstanding connectivity, with Haymarket and Waverley stations, the tram network and major bus routes all within easy reach. Its sustainability credentials include an EPC A rating, ActiveScore Gold certification and a Fitwel 2 Star rating, alongside a clear target to achieve net-zero carbon by 2030.

Chris Cuthbert, director at CuthbertWhite, commented: “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.”
