Description
Will Scarlett originally sold the site (known as “Skyliner”) on behalf of Taylor Wimpey in 2017 to S1 Developments as a clean sale. At this time there was little demand for residential land in Leith.
S1 successfully obtained planning consent for 338 BTR homes and appointed Scarlett to source a Forward Funding partner. Following an abortive negotiation with an Institutional Fund, Scarlett sold the site in 2022 to Goodstone Developments to own and operate as a BTR scheme.
In 2023 a further consent was granted for an additional 35 units bringing the overall total to 373. The site is now under construction with project completion dates of Q2 2025 for Blocks 1 & 2 and Q1 2026 for Blocks 3 & 4.
Client
“Will has acted for S1 Developments for over 15 years across resi, BTR and PBSA deals including Dockside (formerly) Skyliner, Ellersly Road, Pentland House, and the Former Tynecastle High School. He has a relentless focus in pursuing a deal on behalf of his clients. He has built an impressive contact list in the BTR and PBSA sectors and has great knowledge and experience in both. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Will as an agent in both a buying and selling capacity.”
