The development will be Native Land’s first development outside London.

In October the main contractor began demolition work on the existing St James Centre to make way for the new development.

Stephen Wicks, Director of Shopping Centres at TH Real Estate, said: “The interest we have received in the residential opportunity at Edinburgh St James is a real testament to the quality of the scheme and the vision we have proposed. Native Land and Queensberry Properties have unrivalled experience in delivering projects of this kind and we are confident they will deliver a high quality residential offer which will complement the wider development.”

John Lewis will continue to trade throughout the construction process which is anticipated to complete in 2020.
