A private building developer from Glasgow has proposed a new restaurant development as well as four upper floor flats for former retail storefronts and offices on Princes Street.
139 and 139a Princes Street was formerly The Edinburgh Woolen Mill and Pride of Scots, which both sold tourist souvenirs. Vacant offices currently occupy the first, second and third floors.
The commercial real estate website, Novaloca, previously listed the property at £2.7million in 2020, and the planning application implies that the retail unit has been vacant for a while with limited interest.
