Bank to bulldoze B-listed building

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2005 / February 17

A modern office block in the city centre is set to be demolished to make way for shops, offices and luxury flats. Banking giant Abbey has drawn up plans to replace the 1960s former Scottish Provident building on the south side of St Andrew Square with a new multi-million-pound complex. It is understood large shop units would be created in the basement, lower ground, ground and first floors of the new building with around five levels of offices above. The building would be topped off with more than a dozen prestigious apartments, including a penthouse featuring sweeping views of the Firth of Forth. The plans mark another step in the ongoing regeneration of the city centre's east end - alongside the opening of Harvey Nichols in 2002 and success of nearby designer shops in Multrees Walk.
