4 penthouse apartments for sale – 4 penthouse apartments sold

The Forthquarter at Edinburgh’s waterfront is part of one of Britain’s largest single urban regeneration projects and is emerging as a vibrant new hub for Scotland’s capital. Located just 3 miles from the city centre, the site will benefit from 20 acres of park with lush gardens and wide open spaces with an existing pond to be landscaped, while remaining the home of local wildlife.

The Forthquarter is one of 3 major waterfront sites, and international architects Foster and Partners have been appointed to develop a masterplan for this 110 acre project. Their vision is to create a mixed-use development set within a green environment. So far:

• Scottish Gas have taken occupancy of its 93,000 sq.ft headquarters building
• Developers have acquired the first 3 residential plots and will deliver 772 units
• Edinburgh’s Telford College have relocated to a state of the art facility from the beginning of the 2006/2007 academic year ( 20,000 students and 600 staff)
• WM Morrisons will construct a major new shopping centre at the entrance to Forthquarter

The scale of acheivement to date has been recognised by the RICS, jointly awarding The Forthquarter its International Regeneration Project of the Year Award 2004. See news article by clicking here

Considering the location of this property, pricing levels, discount available, along side the amount of commercial, educational and retail space on this site and also the proposed tram line to be constructed by 2010, we feel the above is an opportunity not to be missed.
