Property developer seeks views on latest Leith proposals

Property developer S Harrison Developments is giving the public the chance to view updated proposals for residential-led development at Ocean Point 2 in Leith.

Neighbouring Ocean Point 1, whose occupiers include VisitScotland, the brownfield site aims to comprise a mix of homes - a high proportion of which will be for families - alongside other potential uses, including purpose-built student accommodation.

Along with commercial uses, co-working and amenity space, landscaping and infrastructure, these will occupy two buildings on the site.

Following an initial public exhibition which took place in December, a second exhibition of updated proposals is taking place on 7 March at Ocean Terminal.

The development neighbours the shopping mall, which is set to undergo a £100m refurbishment, delivering a more mixed-use development comprising residential, commercial, retail and hospitality.

A spokesperson for Harrison Developments commented: “Our proposed development, if approved, will bring much-needed homes and other uses to an area which is undergoing a rapid transformation, delivering a truly mixed community.

“Regenerating a current brownfield site, we look forward to continue to engage with the local community following our first exhibition last year and providing it with the opportunity to input their views and further shape our ambitious proposals.”

The company Harrison has worked on various projects in the city, including the Malmaison at St Andrew Square, student developments at Westfield and Gorgie and hotel development at Osborne House in Haymarket.
