Image Reveals Plan for Old Town Square

This image, released by developers, reveals plans for a new square between Edinburgh's Royal Mile and Calton Road. The picture is being revealed with work to due begin on the next phase of the New Waverley development later this month. Artisan Real Estates Investors’ are behind the £150m project. An Aparthotel will overlook a new £6.5m public square, with a promise of a "vibrant central hub" for New Waverley. Construction work on the initial development phase of two Whitbread hotels with frontages on to East Market Street and Cranston Street is already underway. Clive Wilding, Artisan’s Project Director said, “The new public square, with stunning views over Calton Hill, will form a vibrant hub for this flagship mixed-use development. "With it, we are creating the very heart of our development - a vibrant and pedestrian-friendly urban centre mixing open public spaces with high quality homes and offices".
