VIEWS across the Scottish capital from Waverley Square, a new luxury development, are coming into focus as the apartments take shape.
The city centre site that sits next to Waverley Station will offer 66 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, penthouses and mews, many with views across Edinburgh’s world-famous skyline on completion.
The development, where you can secure a three-bedroom apartment for £755,000, also has private basement parking "floor-to-ceiling windows, vast living spaces" and a landscaped communal courtyard.
Sizes range from 603 sq ft for a one-bedroom apartment to 1690 sq ft for a three-bedroom galleried penthouse.

The development has three penthouses in total – two spanning two-floors and a single storey penthouse, offering “the most contemporary and luxurious residences in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town”.
Hazel Davies, sales and marketing director at Queensberry Properties, said: “Waverley Square offers a wealth of amenities and unsurpassed connectivity right on the doorstep and is surrounded by striking architecture and a breath-taking city skyline, making it the ideal place to live, work and study.”
Queensberry Properties is Cruden Homes’ joint venture with Buccleuch Property.
Cruden Homes highlighted progress: “Things are really starting to take shape at Waverley Square in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. We’re constructing 66 very special apartments for Queensberry Properties. The views across the capital are pretty special too.”
Calum Miller, associate director at Rettie, said: “We are pleased to bring another prestigious Queensberry Properties’ development to market. We are seeing soaring demand for new homes in Edinburgh, so it’s an exciting time to be able to offer our clients what we consider to be a truly unique residential offering in the heart of the capital.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
