The seven-level development, made up of two interlinked office buildings, has now reached its highest point.

New Waverley’s current development phase, which will see the high quality office space blend with restaurants, cafes and shops around the public plaza, is part of Artisan Real Estate Investors £200 million, 7.5 acre mixed-use scheme in the city’s Canongate area.
