Forth Ports masterplan


 


 


Forth Ports has unveiled the masterplan for its new-look Edinburgh Waterfront development.


 


The development will include 1,870 new homes, 25% of which will be affordable, as well as a 1m-sq ft office district.


 


The plans also include a new cruise liner terminal and visitor centre for The Royal Yacht Britannia, as well as up to five new hotels providing the city with 1,000 extra rooms.


 


Forth Ports Group chief executive Charles Hammond said: “Edinburgh Harbour sits at the heart of the largest expansion of Edinburgh for 300 years.


 


“It will create a destination that anchors the waterfront development and delivers significant economic benefit to the Edinburgh and Scottish economies.”


 


International waterfront development specialist RTKL created the masterplan for Edinburgh Harbour.
