Leith Docks Gets Green Light for 240 New Apartments

Leith Docks just got the go-ahead for 240 new apartments across four six-story buildings near the tram stop, part of a bigger push to turn the waterfront into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. Developers Forth Ports scaled back from their original vision, but council members are thrilled—calling it “helpful and welcome” amid the housing crunch. The project includes 134m² of commercial space, prioritizes walking and cycling, and reflects strong community engagement. This approval moves the Harbor 31 masterplan forward, transforming a former industrial zone into a lively residential and work hub—following a similar container-based office project approved in 2025, with even more ambitious ideas for education, hospitality, and retail on the horizon.
