Construction on new ‘age-exclusive’ Edinburgh homes has started, located just a few miles from the city centre in the Barnton area.
The development, which caters to those aged 55 and over, will include a mix of one, two and three bed apartments. Also on the site will be a club lounge, guest suite, private parking and electric vehicle charging points.
All of the homes will be built with green energy measures, including a sustainable Ground Source Heat Pump solution. The first of its kind in Scotland, the solution reduces carbon dioxide emissions and is more efficient in electricity use.

The development will also include extensive green spaces, with raised planters, growing spaces, a tool store, seating and a barbecue area. Cycle storage will also be constructed.
Fraser Lynes, managing director of Cruden Homes, said: “With demand for age-exclusive developments growing exponentially, we’re excited to bring these high quality new homes to Barnton.
“To receive the NextGeneration In Design Gold Award for this development has been a fantastic achievement and solidifies our team’s commitment to going above and beyond the industry’s standards for sustainability. This superb new development includes a number of additional hotel style amenities that support our vision to create a thriving, social community that does not compromise one exclusivity or style.”
