Ediston and Orion submit New Town plans

Ediston and Orion Capital Managers have submitted proposals for new homes, offices and a hotel on the 5.9-acre former RBS site in Edinburgh’s New Town.

Plans for the development, which has rebranded as New Town Quarter, were submitted to the City of Edinburgh Council.

The designs, first unveiled in April, have been subject to major public engagement with the local community and stakeholders.

These include three public exhibitions and bespoke meetings with community groups and representatives.

Ross McNulty, development director at Ediston, said: “We firmly believe that now is the right time to move forward with our proposals and deliver further significant investment in the heart of the nation’s capital. 

“We have worked hard with key stakeholders and the local community to deliver proposals that are consistent with planning policies and our aspirations to create a new high-quality addition to the local area and the city.”

He added: “Our proposals for New Town Quarter will help speed economic recovery in Edinburgh. Research highlights the significant investment benefits that this high-quality development would bring to the Edinburgh economy, as well as helping to meet the pressing need for high-quality new homes and office space.”
