The largest development in Edinburgh in a generation, St James Quarter, is preparing to open doors to the public this week.
The £1bn project will see 850,000 sq ft of retail space, replacing the old St James shopping centre, which closed its doors in October 2016. It includes the largest single food and drink space in Scotland with a 16,600 sq ft marketplace.
The mixed-use development is majority-owned by Dutch fund manager APG, with a 25% stake held by Nuveen Real Estate’s UK shopping centre fund.
St James Quarter will open 40 news stores in phase one at 9am on 24 June, following delays from the pandemic and Covid-19 restrictions. Retailers will include Peloton, Bershka and Calvin Klein.
