Description
Waterfront development opportunity
Approximately 7.25 hectares (17.91 acres) across 10 development plots
Existing consent for 321 residential units, in addition to commercial, leisure and amenity space
Located within the Granton Development Framework - a £1.3bn regeneration project
Situated within Granton Harbour, the subjects occupy a prominent position approximately three miles north of Edinburgh City Centre, forming an important part of the city's northern waterfront.
The site is situated within the Granton Development Framework - a major £1.3 billion regeneration programme set to deliver around 15,000 new homes supported by enhanced commercial, leisure, and waterfront amenities.
In terms of connectivity, Granton Harbour benefits from strong links to the city centre and surrounding districts. The Newhaven tram terminus lies approximately 1.5 miles to the east, with proposed plans to extend the tram route along the Granton waterfront from Leith, providing a direct link to the city centre and supporting the wider regeneration of the area.
The opportunity comprises a portfolio of development plots located within Granton Harbour Estate, occupying a prime waterfront location on Edinburgh's northern coastline.
The site extends to approximately 7.25 hectares (17.91 acres) and forms part of a 60-acre master planned estate which benefits from existing infrastructure including estate roads, pavements and street lighting.
Current planning consent allows for a mix of residential apartments, retirement living accommodation, commercial space and leisure use, with several sites offering potential to increase the residential development density subject to a revised planning consent.
