Awards success for St Andrew Square

Gillespies’ St Andrew Square project has received a Commendation from the Civic Trust at a ceremony in London. It also received a Commendation at the RTPI’s Scottish Awards for Quality in Planning and has been short listed for a Scottish Design Award.

The Civic Trust described St Andrew Square as ‘a real civic achievement’ whilst the judges for the planning awards said: "we were impressed with this project … we recognise the positive impact it has had on the local area for the environment and economy."

St Andrew Square in Edinburgh was opened to the public last year following a £2.6 million redesign from Gillespies. The square is situated in a UNESCO world heritage site.
