Steven says: This workspace in Leith is one of the city’s most distinctive flexible workspaces, blending contemporary design with the character and heritage of Leith’s historic waterfront. Located in Commercial Quay, the building was originally a bonded warehouse, and its transformation into a modern workspace has been carried out with exceptional care. Period features such as block windows, exposed wooden beams, and original brickwork have been thoughtfully restored, giving the space a unique charm that sets it apart from more conventional office environments. And yes there is an onsite bar!

Spread across multiple floors, this building offers a wide range of workspace options designed to support businesses of all sizes — from freelancers and start‑ups to established SMEs and larger teams. Members can choose from hot desks, dedicated desks, private offices, and fully equipped meeting rooms. The private offices range from small two‑person suites to larger self‑contained units for up to 24 people, complete with their own kitchen and WC facilities. This flexibility makes it easy for companies to scale as they grow, without the constraints of long leases or heavy upfront costs.

The workspace is designed with productivity and wellbeing in mind. Open‑plan coworking areas are bright and spacious, offering a comfortable environment for focused work, while breakout spaces and phone booths provide quieter spots for calls or deep concentration. Fully stocked kitchens, communal seating areas, and informal lounges encourage interaction and collaboration among members, helping to build a sense of community within the building.

One of the standout features is its on‑site amenities. The  Café serves a selection of hot and cold food, snacks, and drinks, making it easy for members to grab a coffee or lunch without leaving the building. For those looking to unwind or network after work, the on‑site microbrewery, Lost in Leith, offers a unique social space with outdoor seating for sunny days. This blend of workspace and lifestyle amenities creates a vibrant atmosphere that appeals to modern professionals seeking more than just a desk.

Meeting and event spaces are another strong feature of the building. 84 Commercial Street offers a variety of rooms suitable for team meetings, workshops, presentations, and small corporate events. Rooms come equipped with high‑quality AV technology, fast Wi‑Fi, and comfortable furnishings. Catering packages can be arranged through the on‑site café, and the amazing onsite team provides friendly support to ensure events run smoothly. These spaces are available to both members and external bookers, making the venue a popular choice for local businesses.

Membership at  includes a range of services designed to make day‑to‑day operations seamless. The dedicated support team handles reception duties, cleaning, maintenance, and security, allowing members to focus on their work. Additional facilities include bike storage, showers, lockers, printing services, and secure access. The building is also pet‑friendly, adding to its appeal for those who prefer a more relaxed and inclusive working environment.

84 Commercial Street Leith is more than just a workspace — it’s a community hub that supports personal and professional growth.
