Work Underway On Major Private Development In Edinburgh

Cruden Building East has been appointed to deliver a new multi-million pound private development at Colinton Road, Edinburgh.

The development, which has now gotten underway, will see a mix of residential accommodation and commercial space built on the site adjacent to Craiglockhart Leisure & Tennis Centre and nearby Edinburgh Napier University.

Dunedin House Properties and Rutherford appointed Cruden Building East, part of the Cruden Group, to deliver this two part project. The two contracts have a combined value of £6.2m.

The development, which has been exclusively designed by Yeoman McAllister Architects, will deliver much-needed private housing in this ideally located district of Edinburgh. The largest contract is valued at £5m and it will see Cruden Building East create 19 highly sought after two and three bedroom residential apartments and two retail units for Dunedin House. The private development will also see five residential apartments - one studio apartment and four two bedroom homes, and a Co-op retail unit, created for Rutherford as part of a £1.2 million contract.
