The £20.4m Westfield Road project near Murrayfield Stadium will provide almost 400 beds over seven storeys, whilst the nearby £14.4m Gorgie Road development will deliver 249 beds.

Both are due for completion in mid-2022. 

Gary Holmes, regional managing director of GRAHAM, said: “These projects further bolster our strong position in the student accommodation and build-to-rent sectors. The facilities we are constructing for Watkins Jones will provide high quality student accommodation, incorporating the full range of lifestyle and amenity facilities which today’s students expect.”
