Summary:
- S Harrison secured planning permission to develop 124 student bedrooms at 50 Gillespie Crescent, Edinburgh, transforming a brownfield site within the Marchmont, Meadows and Bruntsfield Conservation Area into a five-storey building featuring 112 cluster apartment bedrooms, 12 studios, and seven accessible rooms.
- The development benefits from a strategic location about one mile south-west of Edinburgh city centre, close to key universities and transport links, including a 15-minute walk to the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Napier University campuses, and proximity to Haymarket Station.
- With planning approval in place, S Harrison aims to engage PBSA developers, investors, and operators to advance the project, reinforcing its track record in Edinburgh’s student accommodation sector following recent completions at East Newington Place and 179 Canongate.
