Shopping Development Multrees Walk, St Andrew Square, Edinburgh
![]() The Walk / Harvey Nichols: images above by keith hunter The Harvey Nichols project entailed the redevelopment of Edinburgh's St Andrew Square Bus Station site replacing the 1960/70s office blocks and bus station with a new open pedestrian street Multrees Walk - linking the St James Centre to St Andrew Square and George Street. A covered bus station containing 18 operational and 5 layover stances with airport style internal public facilities is included in the scheme, just to the north of Harvey Nichols and Multrees Walk.
![]() images by Comprehensive Design Architects The retail development above the bus station focuses on Multrees Walk, the first new street in Edinburgh's New Town since the late 18th century. The Walk provides a high quality pedestrian urban environment and replaces the previous tortuous pedestrian route through the vehicular environment of the old bus station.
![]() images by keith hunter The design of the street is based on research and analysis by CDA of street widths and building sizes in central Edinburgh to achieve the right proportions and rhythms for the site located, as it is, in Edinburgh's historic New Town Conservation Area and World Heritage Site. A 'court' is positioned halfway along the street to form a focal point for the new shopping experience, a café with outdoor seating may be located in the court.

A further 26 shop units front onto the Walk and its courtyard including an Armani store. These are currently being marketed to high quality retailers. Above the shops is a 40,000ft² suite of offices. ![]() Harvey Nichols Edinburgh - photo by keith hunter Multrees Walk is surfaced with Caithness stone and Granite setts. The buildings in the new street are designed and finished to reflect the quality and ambience of Edinburgh's New Town with the facades finished in sandstone, granite and natural slate.
