Morris & Spottiswood to deliver £2m Waverley Gate refurb

A former post office, the striking listed building located adjacent to the city’s main station, is home to a number of blue-chip occupiers. Featuring a spectacular roof garden overlooking Edinburgh Castle, Waverley Gate has become one of the city’s most recognisable business addresses.

The project will return level 2 of the building to landlord standard for a new incoming tenant. Works commenced during the summer of 2025 and are scheduled to run for a 22-week programme.

Morris & Spottiswood will deliver the flooring and specialist joinery package, while Livingston Building Services, part of the Morris & Spottiswood Group, is undertaking the mechanical and electrical works. Together, the group’s divisions will ensure the building is refurbished to the highest standards while preserving its architectural character.

Paul Beaton, development director at Morris & Spottiswood, said: “This project is in one of Edinburgh’s most iconic office buildings. We are proud to be working with Kennedy Wilson to prepare Waverley Gate for its next chapter, combining our M&E expertise with high-quality fit-out and joinery services.”
