Plans submitted for £100m mixed-use Edinburgh scheme

Developer S Harrison has submitted a planning application for a circa £100m residential-led development in Leith, Edinburgh. The plans for Ocean Point 2 include two buildings comprising 120 build-to-rent homes and 404 purpose-built student accommodation beds, split between cluster accommodation and studio bedrooms. Ocean Point 2 will also include commercial space/co-working and amenity space. The neighbouring Ocean Terminal is set to undergo a £100m transformation, delivering a mixed-use development comprising residential, commercial, retail and hospitality. A spokesperson for S Harrison Developments, said: “Our proposed development, if approved, will bring much-needed homes and student accommodation to an area which is undergoing a rapid transformation, delivering a truly mixed community. “Regenerating a current brownfield site, this development boasts excellent transport links, especially with the new tram line, and will deliver a significant investment into the local community.” Planning and development consultancy Turley provided planning services for the project with CDA acting as architects.
