Clark Contracts has completed the design and build of a £30m, 257-bedroom purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development on Mayfield Road in Edinburgh for Lanark Student Living.
The new development is situated directly opposite The University of Edinburgh’s King’s Building Campus and consists of two five-storey buildings comprising of studios and three-bedroom apartments. The scheme also features a modern gym, communal area, laundry facilities, and a cinema.
The building was constructed with an innovative modular technique, with the studios/apartments being manufactured off site by modular specialist DMD Modular, before being transported to the site and installed within the building frame.
The Mayfield Road development was also nominated for Student Accommodation of the Year at the 2025 Scottish Property Awards, and also gained Honourable Mention at the International Modular Building Awards.
“We are delighted to have delivered this project in Edinburgh city centre to create this student accommodation for our new customer and continue to develop our experience within this sector. We have now delivered over 1,400 student bedrooms in the last three years.”
