Global semiconductor company Broadcom has moved into Westport 102, a landmark Grade A building in the heart of Edinburgh’s Exchange District.

Broadcom has signed a 10 year lease with break option at year five for 6,135 sq ft on the 5th floor. The move sees Broadcom relocate 28 staff from its previous premises at MWB Business Centre on St Andrew’s Square.

Completed in 2009, Westport 102 is a prominent landmark building, located in a pivotal position in the Exchange District, offering Grade A office accommodation over ground and six upper floors. 75,000 sq ft remains in the building between 1st and 5th floors, offering floor plates of around 15,000 sq ft which can be sub-divided to suit requirements. Broadcom joins a list of other high profile tenants in the building including Quayle Munro and Sainsbury.
