LUXURY properties are set for launch at one of Edinburgh’s ‘most anticipated’ city centre developments, on the site of the former Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
Square & Crescent will launch sales for its Royal Meadows development next month, comprising a mix of townhouses and apartments restored in and around the ex-hospital building. The site will include a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, four-bedroom penthouses and four and five-bedroom townhouses.
The homes sit on a four-acre site directly opposite The Meadows, and lie between Sciennes Road and Rillbank Crescent.
Euan Marshall, co-founder and joint MD, said, “We’ve recognised from day one that taking on a building that has so much history and profile is a major responsibility – and one that our team has embraced. To get to this stage has taken a huge amount of craftsmanship, but the result is homes that will be beautiful and characterful at a location that will offer buyers the very best of Edinburgh. We’re really thrilled to be able to bring the first homes to market in the coming weeks.”
Phase one will include the sales launch of 22 properties from a one-bedroom apartment to a five-bedroom three-storey townhouse. Construction on the residential development is set to be fully completed in around two years.
The developer recently announced a charity partnership with Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity (ECHC). ECHC’s former HQ is one of the buildings being converted as part of the Royal Meadows development.
Simon Cook, co-founder and joint MD, added, “We appreciate that the hospital building itself means a lot of different things to a lot of different people and that’s why it’s important for us to carefully restore it as we respect its history and look to do the building justice. Thanks to the ongoing dedication of the team and skilled local contractors for their commitment in the restoration. This important milestone marks a major chapter in the development timeline. It won’t be long until people can enjoy their new homes at Royal Meadows.”
