Leith’s New Housing Future Approved

Edinburgh council has approved in principle a major new housing project at the Port of Leith, paving the way for up to 250 homes and commercial spaces as part of Forth Ports’ Harbour 31 masterplan. Designed to blend affordability with modern living, the six-story buildings will feature studios to three-bedroom apartments and shared green spaces, transforming a former industrial waterfront into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. The development also includes improved transport links, connecting Bath Road to Ocean Way and linking to the nearby tram stop, while supporting Leith’s growing role as Scotland’s largest renewables hub. Surface drainage works are also approved, bringing the project closer to reality — a key step in the council’s housing-led regeneration vision.
