SkyScanner counts its Quartermile presence as its international headquarters, and the company has grown rapidly globally over the past few years, particularly in recent months. The Edinburgh site has 105,000 square feet of Grade A office space, of which SkyScanner now occupies 35,000 square feet.
The company also has offices in Glasgow, Singapore, and China, where SkyScanner hopes to see significant growth in the coming months and years. The company currently estimates about 25 million visitors to its travel comparison sites each month, and the British firm recently opened a new office in Miami to boost its presence across the Americas.
“It is a testament to the quality and location of Quartermile One that such a globally successful, rapidly expanding business has taken additional space and chosen the development as one of its international hubs,” said Allan Matthews, a director at CBRE, which consulted on the deal.
“Quartermile One has attracted many high calibre occupiers. In addition to Skyscanner, this includes Maclay, Murray and Spens, Morton Fraser, Investec, Mercer and Gladedale – and the popularity of the development means there is now just one 9,763 square feet suite remaining to be let.”
Fosters + Partners, one of the world’s most renowned architectural firms, designed Quartermile One, and the building is one of four commercial developments being added to the same historic area of Edinburgh.

Editor’s Notes: In April 2023, SkyScanner was still located at Quartermile One, having been in occupation for about 10 years. And the company proudly mentions its location, between The Old Town and The Meadows, in its recruitment marketing.
Since the travel company acquired its space, other tenants, including Cirrus Logic, FanDuel, IBM and Investec, have taken space at the scheme, which is also home to retail and leisure tenants including Nanyang, Peter’s Yard, PureGym, Starbucks and Veeno.
As of November 2026, Skyscanner remained headquartered at Quartermile One, 15 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh.
At the time, its website said it also had offices in China, Japan, Singapore, Spain, and the United States, but it did not provide addresses.
At the time, the scheme, completed in 2008, offering 105,000 square feet of Grade A office space with spectacular views across Edinburgh, was fully let to Dentons LLP, FanDuel, Investec Wealth & Investment, Mercer, Pure Gym, and Skyscanner.
