Unite, St Leonards Street, Edinburgh

This 1.8 acre site on St. Leonard’s Street in central Edinburgh will provide 579 beds for the City’s students. This development, situated near to the central campus of the University of Edinburgh, is in close proximity to the city centre’s amenities and transport links. The site is currently occupied by an 8,000 square foot retail unit which will be demolished to make way for the new development. The new six storey property will be built in keeping with the surrounding architecture, and will house students in a mix of shared flats with communal living and kitchen areas, and self-contained studios. Walker Modular will provide all Bathroom Pods for this new Student Accommodation project which is expected to be completed in the 2017/18 academic year.
