By GlobalDataCruden Building managing director Allan Callaghan said: “This is an important step forward for this landmark development which will deliver one of the first net zero carbon home initiatives to the capital.”
Construction on the housing and community development is planned to start next year and will be contingent on relevant consent.
Located at the former Silverlea care home site, the development forms part of the wider £1.3bn Granton Waterfront regeneration scheme.
The City of Edinburgh Council councillor Kate Campbell said: “Granton is a site of national importance – recognised by the Scottish Government as strategically significant.
“We’re making these new homes sustainable, so they are more cost efficient and comfortable to live in.
“These homes will also sit within a neighbourhood of communal leisure spaces that will bring people together and foster wellbeing and spaces for the community to strengthen bonds and build relationships.”
The Granton Waterfront project is intended to deliver 3,500 new net zero carbon homes, a school, new cycling and walking routes, medical centre, and sustainable transport connections with the city.
