EDMB To Deliver Housing Development At Meadowbank
A consortium of GRAHAM, Miller Homes and Panacea Property Development has been selected by the City of Edinburgh Council to deliver a multi-million-pound regeneration housing development at Meadowbank.
The partnership, known as Edinburgh Meadowbank Group (EDMB), was formally approved by the Council’s Finance and Resources Committee (3rd March 2022) to create one of the capital’s "greenest neighbourhoods" by incorporating low-car, low-carbon infrastructure with energy efficient homes.
EDMB, with EMA Architects, will progress design and pre-construction works by early 2023 ahead of the start of construction work on the site, which is adjacent to the new Meadowbank Sports Centre off London Road.
Approximately 600 new mixed tenure homes for sale and rent, at least 35% of which will be affordable with a number fully wheelchair adapted, are key features of the mixed-use regeneration programme.
Space for a range of commercial and community uses, and a proposed GP surgery, are also included in the major development that is a strategic part of the City of Edinburgh Council’s wider Meadowbank Masterplan.
High quality public realm and landscaping, focusing on the industrial and sporting heritage, are set to provide new active travel routes through to Restalrig.
In partnership with the Council, EDMB has also committed to realising a range of community benefits including seven new apprenticeship positions, 14 new job opportunities and a donation of up to £100,000 to support the important work of local community groups.
John McDonald, GRAHAM Investment Projects, Managing Director, said: "GRAHAM and the partners of the EDMB Group are delighted to have been named as the City of Edinburgh Council’s development partner to help transform this area of the city. Our vision for the project is to create a ‘sustainable community’ in every sense. We are focused on working collaboratively with the Council and local community to create a vibrant, safe and sustainable new neighbourhood where people are proud to live, work and socialise. We have prioritised quality placemaking within our proposals and have developed intelligent solutions that will respond to climate change and help to address fuel poverty through low carbon, energy efficient systems."
