BDO invests in Edinburgh with 10-year lease at 30 Semple Street
Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has cemented its commitment to Edinburgh having signed a 10-year lease on a new office at 30 Semple Street.
BDO will move into the 8,176 sq ft space in Autumn this year from its City Point base on Haymarket Terrace.
30 Semple Street is a class-leading new office development by Corran Properties Limited, on behalf of CBRE Investment Management. The building has set new standards in the Scottish office market for its environmental performance, which includes being the first to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, a design-reviewed NABERS 5* target rating and a Platinum Airscore, amongst many other accreditations.
The office will provide BDO with a modern, collaborative working space, consistent with the firm’s commitment to supporting its agile workforce.
Martin Gill, regional managing partner at BDO in Scotland, said: “BDO is firmly committed to the Scottish market and our investment in new offices is a statement of intent for our business and our belief in the people and businesses based here. We’ve taken more space than we have currently to give us the opportunity to continue to expand our depth and breadth of services.
“With its exceptional design and sustainability credentials, this move will provide the foundations for us to continue investing in Scotland.”
Zoe Gray, Director of CBRE Investment Management commented: “We’re delighted to welcome BDO to 30 Semple Street, joining Hymans Robertson and Red Rock Power as the first occupiers of our new flagship office development.”
This investment in Edinburgh forms part of BDO’s national property portfolio across 18 UK locations for its 8,000 people.
In 2022, BDO signed a ten-year lease, committing to more than 8,000 square feet at 2 Atlantic Square in Glasgow and now has more than 200 people working in Scotland.
The firm has also moved into new premises in Manchester, Guildford, Nottingham and Ipswich and has undergone major refits in Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton.
Last summer, BDO announced its move to a new 220,000 sq ft London HQ in 2027, situated in the heart of London’s central West End.
