Exclusive: Nuveen mulls tenant refresh at Edinburgh’s upmarket Multrees Walk

Nuveen is looking to refresh its tenant mix at Edinburgh’s Multrees Walk, as a number of high-end brands eye units at the luxury shopping destination.

Completely Retail News has learned that Gucci is set to open its first standalone store in Scotland at the destination, as landlord Nuveen looks to “take the tenant mix up a notch”.

Sources have also confirmed that TAG Heuer has signed for a 1,400 sq ft unit, whilst fellow Watches of Switzerland brand Mappin & Webb is set to take the former 4,000 sq ft Reiss store.

Mappin & Webb are known to have been in contact with Edinburgh City Council with plans to change the three-storey unit’s frontage, with the installation of a bronze-plated fascia.

The timeline for the store openings remains unclear.

This follows the recent expansion of Louis Vuitton at the luxury shopping destination, which doubled the size of its only Scottish store from 3,072 sq ft to over 6,500 sq ft.

Multrees Walk is home to a number of high-end brands including Canada Goose, LK Bennet and Scotland’s only Harvey Nichols store.
