Moda Living has obtained planning consent from the City of Edinburgh Council to progress the final phase of its £215m Springside development in Edinburgh.

A total of 139 build to rent homes designed by CDA will be delivered in a six-storey block overlooking Dundee Street and Drysdale Road which also includes a ground floor lounge and co-working space.

Residents will have access to a 24-hour concierge and a dedicated MyModa app from which to report faults and organise events with neighbours.

Tony Brooks, co-founder and managing director at Moda Living, commented: “Our mission is to create happy, healthy and connected communities and raise the bar for renting each city we’re in and planning approval for the last phase of Springside brings us one step closer to changing how people rent in Edinburgh.

“We are committed to delivering this landmark scheme despite the current political climate as it provides much needed high-quality rental homes that will help support the city’s long-term growth and further encourage employment and student retention.”

Site clearance for a sister scheme in Glasgow has stopped while work is undertaken to relocate a substation. A start on-site there is expected early next year.

More tiny little boxes at exorbitant prices. Moda's architectural contribution to Edinburgh is poor. The buildings look mundane.

'Healthy' - I wonder when we're going to get a long term study on effect of size of living space on our health. Only bar being raised here is the rent per sqm.
