This will contribute to achieving the Council’s target of reaching net-zero emissions by next year. 

Cruden Group director Fraser Lynes said: “We are excited to reimagine Granton Waterfront and create a brand-new coastal quarter that champions sustainable waterfront living with net-zero carbon homes, just three miles from the city centre.

“This new approach to urban development is transformational and will provide a blueprint for the future as we reconnect the Capital to the Firth of Forth and create a new coastal neighbourhood, which will become one of Europe’s largest coastal amenities.”

The company will bring architects Smith Scott Mullan on board. Scandinavian architect C. F. Møller will also work on the project.

Granton Waterfront is located three miles north of Edinburgh’s City Centre.
