SAV Group has acquired a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development site in Edinburgh. Located close to Leith Walk, construction of the £35m scheme is set to get underway soon, with completion expected in Q2 2027.
The new PBSA scheme will deliver 112 studio apartments and a range of modern amenities including a cinema, games room, library, gym, a study area and shared outdoor space.
Sustainability elements will also be a feature of the scheme, with the inclusion of a rainwater management system and solar panels. The Edinburgh PBSA development is also targeting a BREEAM Excellent rating – which is used to specify and measure the sustainability performance of buildings.
“Our land acquisition marks a significant milestone for SAV Group and our commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable PBSA in Edinburgh.
“By integrating groundbreaking technology and green design features, we aim to set a benchmark for student living that prioritises comfort, wellbeing and environmental responsibility.”
James Ainsworth, Senior Planning Manager, SAV Group
SAV Group has also indicated that they are actively seeking new development opportunities.
