The Walk: One of the most significant developments in many decades brings Harvey Nichols and a collection of international retailers to the first new street created in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town since the eighteenth century. The site, owned by Coal Pension Properties Limited, previously contained a 1950s bus station and 60s/70s offices. This has all been demolished and the new development incorporates, Harvey Nichols at 9,000 m², 27 individual shops totalling 7,900 m², an airport style bus interchange and 3,700 m² of prime office space.
Harvey Nichols: The Harvey Nichols store is planned over five floors with a bar, bistro, restaurant and food hall at the top level. A restaurant terrace commands some of the most spectacular views over Edinburgh. The buildings are finished in sandstone and granite reflecting the grace and quality of Edinburgh’s Georgian town centre. The development cost around £32m and opened in Autumn 2002.
