Following a period of extensive refurbishment, leading property consultants CBRE and Montagu Evans, acting on behalf of the landlord Kennedy Wilson Europe, have relaunched modern office development Exchange Tower to the market, providing a rare opportunity for businesses to acquire high quality office space in a prime location within the city’s thriving Exchange District.
The building, which comprises 65,000 sq ft of high quality open plan office accommodation over 13 floors, has recently undergone a series of upgrades throughout the communal areas, including a comprehensive redesign and enlargement of the reception area and refurbishment of the lift and lobbies at all levels. Shower provision at the building has also been increased.
The vacant ground floor suite, which offers 2,800 sq ft of premium office space, has also been extensively refurbished, with new metal ceiling tiles fitted, the lighting upgraded to new LED specification and full redecoration and re-carpeting throughout.
The building benefits from 24 hour access seven days a week, with a commissionaire presence throughout the day. There is also secure on-site parking situated to the rear. Each suite offers high levels of natural daylight and the upper floors provide excellent views of the city, making the tower a landmark location.
Prior to the completion of the upgrading works, the entire seventh floor was let to Flow Hospitality Training. Approximately 11,000 sq ft across the ground and third floors remains available to let.
Exchange Tower occupies a prominent position at the junction of Canning Street and Torphichen Street within the city’s Exchange District, providing immediate and convenient access to a full range of local amenities including restaurants, bars, shops, hotels and the world-renowned Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Excellent public transport links include the new West Princes Street tram stop and Haymarket railway, located less than a five minute walk from the building, whilst Edinburgh’s Waverley station is also within easy walking distance.
Allan Matthews, director at CBRE, said: “The comprehensive refurbishment of Exchange Tower presents a rare and exciting opportunity for businesses to acquire high quality open plan accommodation in an unrivalled location in Edinburgh. We are confident the high specification of the building and prime location will appeal to a wide variety of occupiers looking for excellent value for money, helping the capital attract new and retain existing businesses.”
