Development Opportunity at Liberton, Edinburgh

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) has purchased the former Liberton Hospital site, located in the South East locality on the intersection of Lasswade Road and Ellen’s Glen Road, from NHS Lothian. The site is approximately 6.5 hectares (4.2 net developable area) in size. The Council will shortly be preparing its procurement strategy to identify the most appropriate route to market for the delivery of this unique opportunity with the aim to provide integrated specialist accommodation (meeting the needs of the Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership) as well as affordable and private homes for sale, sustainable and active travel and achieving net zero ambitions. The ambition for the development is to deliver a mixed-use development with around 380 homes, around half of which will be affordable homes aimed at providing a home with specialist support for older people or those with accessibility needs. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is an exciting opportunity for potential bidders to participate in finalising the Council’s procurement strategy and gain insight into the proposed development strategy. Potential bidders who are interested in this opportunity are invited to download the market research questionnaire and complete no later than 3 May 2023.
