Prestige Edinburgh development set to launch

AN 84-apartment development considered to be the most upmarket in Scotland’s recent history is due to launch in the coming days.

The Crescent at Donaldson’s by CALA Homes (East) is a bold and sweeping arc of glassfronted apartments. The entire development, worth more than £90million, is among the most ambitious projects undertaken by CALA and sees the firm bring to life its vision for one of the most important sites in Scotland.

The development has a prized location nestled to the private rear of the capital’s iconic Donaldson’s estate, located within the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated within 18-acres of grounds that make up the largest

new shared garden to be created in Edinburgh it creates a feel of a secluded private estate just minutes from Haymarket station, and a mile from the heart of Princes Street.

The design of the two show apartments has been inspired not only by the building itself but its outstanding surroundings, led by multi-award-winning Alexander James Interiors.D

esigned by Richard Murphy OBE, the architecture of The Crescent has been influenced by Edinburgh’s famous Georgian crescents, with the show apartments boasting the open views and innovative design features this classic style affords.

Paired with an impressive glass façade are generous flowing spaces, enhanced height living areas and dynamic levels and with each apartment offering a dual-aspect living arrangement, The Crescent combines classic design with modern style.

The vast front lawn and panoramic views over Edinburgh’s cityscape and towards the Pentland Hills beyond, combined with private terraces and gardens to the tree-lined rear offer buyers an idyllic rural escape, whilst being in the heart of the capital.
