Edinburgh office development boasting ESG ‘excellence’ launches

NEW YARDS, Edinburgh

CBRE and Savills have been instructed by Stamford to bring NEW YARDS, a 185,000 sq ft office development in Edinburgh’s west end, to the market.

Located minutes from Haymarket Station, NEW YARDS is designed to suit a variety of occupiers. The building boasts adaptable floorplates that can be subdivided or interconnected to suit requirements. Features include double-height winter gardens, a rooftop terrace, wellness rooms, changing facilities, a café, and a 200-capacity event and collaboration space.

Stamford, together with architects 7N, placed a strong focus on sustainability and occupier wellbeing, with NEW YARDS targeting Net Zero Carbon in operation. It will incorporate touch-free technology alongside SMART building infrastructure designed to adapt to user needs.

Angela Lowe, senior director at CBRE, said, “We’re pleased to be launching NEW YARDS on behalf of Stamford, especially at such a crucial moment for Edinburgh’s office market. With prime Grade A supply tightening rapidly, it’s more important than ever for occupiers to plan ahead to ensure their future office space supports both their growth ambitions and core values.

“Combining impressive scale, top-tier ESG credentials, outstanding amenities, and exceptional design flexibility, NEW YARDS offers a unique pre-let opportunity that enables forward-thinking businesses to secure future-ready workspace. We’re confident it will attract strong interest from occupiers keen to get ahead of the curve and secure in-demand space off-plan.”

Mike Irvine, director at Savills, added, “Prime Grade A supply in Edinburgh remains under significant pressure, with very few options currently available or coming forward. NEW YARDS bridges that gap offering scale, adaptability, and ESG excellence in a location that ticks every box. We anticipate strong interest from occupiers looking to future-proof their working environments by securing the best space off-plan before delivery.”
