TESCO Bank is proposing to vacate its Edinburgh HQ next year, and Edinburgh Napier University is reportedly eyeing the site as a replacement for its Merchiston campus. The building is owned by Tesco plc, and leased to Tesco Bank, which is now an imprint of Barclays, following its £600m purchase of the bank in 2024. It is unclear at this stage if Napier plans to similarly lease the building from Tesco or purchase it outright.
