Leith Docks Gets Major Housing Boost

Leith Docks is set for a dramatic transformation with over 240 new apartments rising near the tram stop, part of a bold plan to turn the area into a vibrant live-work neighborhood. Developers Forth Ports scaled back initial ambitions to ease concerns and secure council approval, prioritizing affordable housing and walkability. Local officials praised the project’s community focus and commitment to minimizing disruption. This phase, on the eastern side of Harbour 31, marks a major shift from industrial use, with plans for schools, shops, and dining spaces — following last year’s approval of container-based offices and retail. The future of Leith Docks is no longer just about ships — it’s about community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
