Hundreds of house hunters are chasing apartments at one of Edinburgh’s most in-demand new property developments – which includes penthouses boasting jaw-dropping views across the capital’s skyline.
Ahead of its official sales launch last Friday, property agents Savills received more than 600 separate inquiries for the 67 St Bernards project at Canonmills, making it the most highly anticipated development the estate agent has seen in Edinburgh.
Prospective buyers will be given virtual tours of the properties using the same cutting-edge Unreal Engine software used in hit video games such as Fortnite and Final Fantasy series, providing hyper-realistic CGI walkthroughs of the apartments, which are set to be completed next summer.
5. In demand
Ben Di Rollo, a property expert at Savills, believes the level of interest far outstrips any development in the city, and is a sign of the continuing strength of the Edinburgh property market coupled with a shortage of quality new-build properties. He also hailed the build quality and local amenities of the ‘stand out’ Kelvin Properties development. Photo: Kelvin Properties

7. High standard
Ben Di Rollo, a property expert at Savills, said: "“The development contains beautifully designed spaces that meet the needs of a broad range of buyers – duplexes for families, one beds for young professionals, two and three beds for upsizers, and penthouses for downsizers – that’s all of the incredibly high standard the market has come to expect from a Kelvin Properties development."
