Specific details on the hotel and other developments are not yet available.
The masterplan lodged with The City of Edinburgh Council for thenew Edinburgh Marina development is believed to be the first new Marina next toa capital city in Europe for several decades, providing a major boost toinward investment in Edinburgh of over £300m.
The Edinburgh Marina development will deliver new homes for over4,000 residents as well as local employment opportunities for up to 700people, whilst the new masterplan provides for improved marine services.
The residential content of the development remains virtually unchangedfrom the previously approved plans, but now provides for a significantlygreater offering of family sized housing for rent. The total area of the proposednew retail and leisure space remains unchanged from that approved inJanuary 2014 – 9220 sq.m and 4220 sq.m respectively. However, the layout hasnow been redesigned to provide a centre to the retail, commercial andleisure space, easily accessible to both residents andvisitors.
A spokesman for the developers, Granton Central Developments Limited,said today, “We are very pleased with the way in which our developmentplans have been supported by the local community and we look forward tostarting work on this exciting project in 2015. We hope that Edinburgh Marina willsoon be not just a gateway to Edinburgh, but a focal point of an excitingand energetic newcommunity.”
