Chris Stewart

Developing amazing spaces

A major talent in real estate development and investment and hotel operation, Chris Stewart Group’s expertise is in transformational urban projects with a focus on regeneration and redevelopment and a particular interest in complex, listed buildings. The Group embraces opportunity with a passion for innovation, but will also apply a keen understanding for market and location. Founded more than 20 years ago by CEO and majority shareholder Chris Stewart, the company’s credentials were firmly established in the early 2000s, when a number of deals helped spark the regeneration of Edinburgh city centre’s east end. Over the years that have followed, the strength and reputation of the company have grown, along with its portfolio of assets. This growth has been reflected in the appointment of 14 new members of staff since 2013, growing the head office team to 18 including an in house architect, interior design team, project and construction management, development finance and asset management teams.

Chris Stewart Group is also responsible for almost 200 members of staff across its operational assets, including The Edinburgh Grand, Old Town Chambers, Merchiston Residence and Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh.
