EY is set to move its Edinburgh headquarters from Atria One to 3 Haymarket Square by the end of 2026.
The firm is subletting the second floor of the new Baillie Gifford building. The 38,000 sq ft space includes access to communal areas on the ground floor.
EY currently employs 720 people in Edinburgh. The move follows eight years at its Morrison Street office and coincides with an expansion of its Glasgow premises.
The new site is located near Haymarket station and tram links. Baillie Gifford signed a pre-let deal for the 280,000 sq ft development with M&G Real Estate in 2020.
Around 1,600 Baillie Gifford staff will relocate from Calton Square to the eight-storey building in mid-2026. JLL advised on the sub-letting agreement.
EY Scotland country managing partner Sue Dawe said: “Our new Edinburgh headquarters is part of a series of investments that demonstrate continued commitment to our growing Scotland practice.
“We have around 1300 people and partners across our three Scottish offices, and this move is part of strategic investment to further serve our clients, provide a modern workspace for our people and maintain a prominent, lasting presence across the country.It also represents our commitment to the Scottish economy, delivering high quality careers for those who live here – a local footprint with global reach.”
Baillie Gifford joint managing partner Tim Campbell added: “The new office is a long-term investment for Baillie Gifford and our clients, bringing Edinburgh colleagues together in one place.
“When we agreed to move into such a large building, the lease was structured from the outset to give us flexibility. This sublet makes practical use of space we do not yet need, while allowing another global business to benefit from a prime Edinburgh location. Work on the fit-out is progressing well and we look forward to moving in over the coming months.”
