Scottish construction company CCG Group has committed to developing the first phase of the 938-home Western Harbour development in Leith.
A total of 118 homes for private sale are set to be delivered, with construction starting this summer and completion phased over the first six months of 2024.
The homes will be a mix of one, two and three bedrooms, next to the Harbour Point & Gateway development by Forth Ports and Rettie & Co, completed in 2019, and will be released to the market by the group's own private housing company CCG Homes.
The development is adjacent to the recently completed Victoria Primary School and Nursery, as well as the soon-to-be-completed tram terminal.
Carole Cran, chief financial officer of landowners Forth Ports Group, said: “Today’s news marks an important next chapter in the development of Western Harbour and I am very pleased that CCG are bringing these much needed sustainably built homes to Leith.”
David Wylie, managing director of the CCG Group, said: “The extent of regeneration in the district and the wider area of Granton is significant and we are playing a key role in its delivery, with over 900 mixed-tenure homes set to be created to a low carbon or net zero standard over the next four years.
“The private housing arm of our group, CCG Homes, has very successfully sold over 200 homes in Glasgow and the West since 2019, so to be able to grow the company’s portfolio in the city of Edinburgh presents an exciting opportunity for CCG Homes and the wider group and I look forward to works commencing on-site this summer.”
Last May, Forth Ports announced the creation of a £40m renewable energy hub at the Port of Leith.
In 2019, Forth Ports completed its Harbour Gateway housing development of 234 mid-market homes on a site adjacent to the Western Harbour development.
