Description

The subjects comprise a retail unit arranged over the ground and basement floors of a traditional five storey tenement building. The front sales area benefits from an impressive floor to ceiling height of approximately 4.72m, offering excellent visibility and display potential.

The frontage is fully glazed and incorporates a recessed entrance with two adjacent display windows, providing strong street presence and natural light to the main trading area.

Location

Nicolson Street is a prominent city centre thoroughfare linking the University of Edinburgh and the Southside with the Old Town. The street benefits from strong year round demand driven by a surrounding student population of 50,000, with trading levels further enhanced during the Edinburgh Festival where the cities population typically doubles to in excess of 1m people. The subjects occupy a highly visible position on the north side of Nicolson Street, directly opposite the Festival Theatre.

Nearby occupiers comprise a strong mix of national and established local operators including Tesco Express, Pepe’s, Ryman, El Jefe’s and Black Medicine Coffee.
