Transformation of Princes Street Townhouses
Plans have been submitted to convert B-listed buildings on Edinburgh's Princes Street and Hanover Street into serviced apartments and office headquarters.
The buildings, located within Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site, are currently in a semi-derelict state and have been vacant for several decades.
Serviced apartments developer Destiny Scotland has appointed Studio LBA as the lead consultant and architect for the project, which will result in 24 serviced apartments.
- Previous plans had proposed 30 serviced apartments.
- The new plans modify the previous consent, retaining the first-floor commercial space as an office for Destiny Scotland.
The project aims to transform the derelict townhouses into a thriving hub of activity.
