Property consultancy Ryden is upping sticks after 25 years on Edinburgh’s North Castle Street having signed a lease for space in the heart of the capital’s bustling business district.

Ryden is leaving North Castle Street after 25 years

The firm said that all 45 staff in the city would be relocating to the ground floor of 7 Exchange Crescent, Conference Square later this month. Among its new neighbours will be Shepherd & Wedderburn, Morrisons, Colliers, Logic Now and Pure Gym.

Partner Peter I’Anson, who handled the negotiations, said: “We selected Exchange Crescent from a number of short-listed options to provide a high-quality space from which to develop our business.

“Moving from a townhouse to a single level will mean collaboration on projects is easier and we will be closer to our clients, friends and fellow professionals, while maintaining on-street presence at our new office.”

Ryden has five offices, 34 partners and some 110 staff.
