Plans for a £200 million regeneration project in Edinburgh are due to go on show at an informational even.

The multi-million pound India Quay project aims to transform the former McEwan's brewery site with 438 new homes in Fountainbridge.

Property manager EDI Group plans to build a range of bedroom apartments including 112 affordable homes.

Overall, the project will form one of the largest build-to-rent schemes in Scotland over the next three years.

The information event will provide local residents, businesses and community groups an opportunity to find out more about updated details of the types of homes and apartments due to be submitted as part of a detailed planning application later this month.


Lynn Smith, Head of Development at the EDI Group, said: "India Quay is a major development site for the city of Edinburgh. Bringing a long-standing vacant site back into use will not only improve the city centre's built environment it will also deliver a significant economic boost creating jobs and attracting inward investment.

"Having listened to what local people would like to see developed, we're pleased to be submitting our detailed planning application and look forward to working with our partners to create a thriving community of high quality homes, shops, restaurants and mixed use spaces for future generations and visitors to enjoy."

The information event will take place from 3pm – 8pm at Akva, 129 Fountainbridge on Tuesday, 10 May.
