Situated on the edge of the New Town, the Logie Green Road development will be undertaken by Kelvin Properties.
Architects CDA have designed the ‘high-spec’ six-storey buildings that come with balconies, roof terraces and a south-facing landscaped communal garden.
Alongside the 36 apartments, 12 affordable homes will also be available as part of the project.
Those who are eco-conscious will be able to take advantage of the solar panels, rain gardens and a secure bike storage as well as electric vehicle charging points.
Marc Taylor, director at Kelvin Properties, said the development brings desirable new properties to the Edinburgh market at a time when they are in high demand.
He said: “Everybody is aware that Edinburgh desperately needs new homes on the market, and the properties at 67 St Bernards will make an important contribution to the city.
“It’s a significant moment for Kelvin Properties, and for the Edinburgh property market. It’s been a challenging time for the industry, which has led to a shortage of new build properties across the city. However, prudent management has put us in the perfect position to press ahead and bring this exciting development to the capital.
“The high-spec properties will appeal to a wide-range of buyers, including families and professionals.
“The extensive outdoor areas – including rooftop terraces and a large communal space – have a real ‘wow factor’, and have also been designed with modern lifestyles in mind around mental and physical health and wellbeing.
“This is a much-needed development for Canonmills, helping regenerate a former industrial building into a thriving residential community. Interest is already high, and we anticipate significant demand when they reach the market later this summer.”
The 67 St Bernards development is due for completion in summer 2024, with agents Savills expected to begin marketing the properties later this summer.
