What is being bought
Located just three miles north of Edinburgh’s city centre, Granton Waterfront has outstanding views across the Firth of Forth and sits in a ‘necklace’ of coastal communities from Cramond in the West to Portobello in the East.
Over the next 10 – 15 years, this area will be transformed from former industrial land into a new coastal town for Scotland. The Council plan to deliver, through phased development:
- around 3,500 new net zero carbon homes; with approximately 50% of these available for private development opportunities;
- business start-up space and commercial opportunities;
- creative arts, cultural and leisure spaces;
- key services including a school and health centre;
- Europe’s largest coastal park; and
- low carbon energy solution(s).
The Council’s phasing strategy, commencing with Phase 1, opens with the ‘Heart of Granton’ and embarks the Council and its future Development Partners on a journey of regeneration, with green credentials at the forefront of its objectives. This high-profile regeneration site offers a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to work with the Council to create a new sustainable coastal town within Edinburgh’s Waterfront.
This unique opportunity to work with the Council initially over an 18-month period as part of a two stage Pre-Development contract has been devised as part of the Council’s procurement strategy to reduce the burden of tendering as much as possible on Candidates and to encourage collaboration, innovation, risk apportionment, and partnership between the Council and the Development Partner.
As a Candidate, you will be experienced and capable of delivering complex regeneration and mixed-use development projects of similar scale and nature. Your team will be multi-disciplinary and consist of the Development Partner, full design team services, construction contractors and specialist expertise in areas such as sustainability and modern methods of construction. You will identify opportunities for working with the local community and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), creating new jobs and stimulating the local economy. You will support the Council with innovative solutions related to transport, infrastructure and funding with a primary focus on carbon reduction where possible.
The gross development value for Phase 1 is projected at GBP170million - GBP190million, with the overall programme valued at GBP1.3billion.
