Summary:
- The Social Hub has submitted plans for a £200 million hospitality-led redevelopment of the former Fountain Brewery site in Edinburgh’s Fountainbridge, which has been vacant for around 20 years.
- The proposed scheme includes a 580-bed mixed-use facility combining student, hotel, and extended-stay accommodation, alongside co-working spaces for up to 300 fixed users and flexible capacity for thousands more, plus amenities such as a restaurant, café, rooftop bar, clubhouse, theatre, and gym.
- This development is part of a broader masterplan to regenerate Fountainbridge, supporting the council’s affordable housing initiatives and creating a new canal-side public square aimed at enhancing community engagement and urban connectivity.
