A VIBRANT NEW QUARTER BECKONS.
EDINBURGH'S PRESTIGIOUS £350M QUARTERMILE DEVELOPMENT IS TRANSFORMING A LANDMARK CITY CENTRE SITE INTO A VIBRANT NEW COMMUNITY.
Quartermile is one of Scotland's largest urban regeneration projects, involving the redevelopment of the former Edinburgh Royal Infirmary (ERI) in the city's Lauriston Place.
A new residential quarter is emerging which will offer impressive contemporary living seldom found in the centre of Edinburgh.
The 19 acre site will offer state of the art office premises on a major scale as well as encompassing stylish restaurants and shops, creating a new community - people will work rest and play at Quartermile.
A SENSE OF LOCATION
A quarter mile from Edinburgh Castle, a quarter mile from the Royal Mile and a quarter mile from corner to corner, Quartermile is set in the heart of the Capital.
Bordering The Meadows, many of the apartments will have unrivalled views of vast greenery. Not only will residents have 'the best back garden' in Edinburgh, but a third of Quartermile itself will be green space.
"A quarter mile from edinburgh castle, a quarter mile from the royal mile and a quarter mile from corner to corner."
WORLD-RENOWNED ARCHITECTS
Planned by Foster and Partners, Quartermile will blend the capital's heritage with striking new buildings to create a pioneering residential and business district within the city's World Heritage site. Headed by Lord Foster, the partnership is acknowledged as one of the world's outstanding architecture firms.
REGENERATE TO ACCUMULATE
The former ERI site will be fully regenerated and revitalised, balancing preservation of the site's historic past with an ambition to create a place reflecting Edinburgh's exciting future.
To that end, listed buildings in classic Victorian stone are being carefully restored and returned to their former glory. Striking glass and steel 21st century architecture will integrate, creating a dynamic urban environment.
LUXURY LIVING, QUARTERMILE STYLE
Quartermile's residential apartments will offer a new standard of living within Edinburgh's city centre.
Five original listed Victorian medical blocks, designed by David Bryce, will be transformed into single-level apartments and two-storey duplex accommodation. Ranging in size from one to four bedrooms, many have stunning views of The Meadows. High ceilings, period windows and open staircases will sit elegantly alongside bespoke designed kitchens and bathrooms.
New-build apartments with full width glass walls will maximise open living space, giving views across the Meadows, towards the Castle or to the distant Salisbury Crags. Within the apartments, the outlook will be equally appealing - natural wood floors and high-specification finishes will create a sleek, timeless environment.
The apartments have floor areas from 460 to 2,000 sq ft, with one to four bedrooms and open plan kitchens. And for the ultimate indulgence a selection of exclusive penthouses will also be available.
The Quartermile lifestyle offers a unique living environment; contemporary and calm interiors with a cosmopolitan mix of shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. Estate management services and plentiful underground parking will ensure maximum convenience for residents.
A STONE'S THROW
Quartermile is perfectly positioned for business, for living and for relaxing. Waverley and Haymarket stations are within walking distance and the airport is a short taxi or bus ride away. The shops of Princes and George Streets are nearby and for people working south of the Meadows their journey could involve nothing more strenuous than a stroll across the grass. Essentially, Quartermile is in walking distance of just about everywhere.
Drivers will find Quartermile accessible from anywhere in and around the city, and cycle paths criss-cross the site.
FLAIR FOR BUSINESS
Edinburghis the European Union's fourth financial centre and is second only to London in the UK. Quartermile's visionary corporate business space will introduce an exciting new city centre business district in Edinburgh.
"Quartermile is perfectly positioned for business, for living and for relaxing."
