en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cullross has launched plans to build 212 homes in Edinburgh's Western Harbour.

The project will transform a prominent waterfront site, providing a mix of private and affordable housing. The proposed development includes one- to three-bedroom apartments, two- to three-bedroom maisonettes, five-bedroom townhouses, parking, external facilities, and green spaces.

The site is part of the expanding Western Harbour community. The layout reflects the character of Newhaven and supports sustainable travel, with convenient pedestrian and cycle paths and nearby bus and tram connections.

The affordable homes in the project are proposed to be managed by the Wheatley Group. Cullross has engaged extensively with the local community in recent months, including two public consultation events held at Newhaven Centre in January and February 2026, attended by 116 people. Meetings have also been held with key stakeholders, including the Leith Harbour and Newhaven Community Council and the Western Harbour Owners’ Association.

Mark Beaton, Director of Cullross, said the application marks a significant step towards bringing over 200 new homes to Edinburgh. With the housing crisis continuing to impact communities across Scotland, this development is a strong addition to the city's housing stock. The proposal makes effective use of land that has been vacant for a long time, delivering modern, energy-efficient homes with durable materials and professional management, while offering a range of property types and sizes to meet the needs of different residents.

The project will be delivered by Cullross, with private units operated by Cullross Living and affordable units operated by the Wheatley Group.
