Edinburgh's Development Zones

Edinburgh offers 2400 hectares of prime development opportunity.

To enable development to be driven forward with the context of the City vision as a whole and to bring more coherence to property development plans across the city, four priority investment zones have been created:- Edinburgh city centre, Edinburgh's Waterfront, West Edinburgh and South-East Edinburgh.

Each zone will have a different priority however, each will focus on enhancing economic growth and will involve strong, co-ordinated public & private sector collaboration.
