Edinburgh Princes Street shop buildings to be demolished under new plans

One of Princes Street's buildings could be demolished and neighbouring structures altered under new plans for a hotel development.

Planning permission is currently being sought to tear down 107-108 Princes Street, with the former Next store currently lying empty. The former Zara store, as well as the former Russell and Bromley store, would be altered under the plans.

All three stores flocked to the St James Quarter when it opened in 2021. The building set for demolition is an unlisted building, though is however neighboured by ‘historically significant’ structures - with 104, 105 and 106 Princes Street all category B listed buildings.
