The building was set on redeveloped dockland and housed parts of what was then known as the Scottish Office.

Its construction began in 1993, and it was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth on Monday 1 July 1996.

New luxury flats, converted bond warehouses, bistros, bars, and restaurants followed.

New St. Andrew's House (NSAH) was closed in phases from 1995 to 1996 as a result of the presence of asbestos in the building, and lay empty until demolition in 2017.
