Area Development Edinburgh Fountainbridge

The redevelopment of this centrally located site in Edinburgh, is a lively and new mixed-use neighbourhood. In the first phase, Vastint planned to deliver a Moxy hotel and restaurant fronting a new civic space, together with a landmark 5.532 m² office building.
Vastint Hospitality started construction of the first phase of the New Fountainbridge project in April 2019. The first phase is now completed.

In the second phase, Vastint is developing 30,742 square meters of Gross Internal Floor Area (GIFA) on a 9,768 square meter plot. This expansive space encompasses 794 square meters of commercial area and an extensive underground parking facility with 89 car parking spaces, including multiple EV charging spots, motor bike, bicycle and residential storage areas. Phase two is slated for completion in Q1 2025.

Phase 1 - Hotel
Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge opened its doors on February 17th, 2021.

The 262-room Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge is designed to inspire creativity and offers space for both business and leisure travelers. The bedrooms are stylishly designed, offering features such as 42-inch flat-screen televisions with Chromecast, USB posts as well as UK and European plug sockets.

Moxy is a sustainable hotel choice in Edinburgh. The hotel is now certified as LEED Gold status, the highest achievement in the prestigious building program. This makes Moxy hotels the best choice in Edinburgh for eco-conscious travelers.

Besides the Moxy all-day dining restaurant, the city center hotel boars a rooftop 51 with views of Edinburgh Castle alongside a cinema screen and outdoor terrace.

The hotel also comprises a fitness centre and multiple meeting rooms.

Phase 1 – Office
In tandem with the hotel, phase 1 also saw the development and lease of 5,531 square meters of office space. In February 2022, the entire building was leased to a single tenant for a ten-year term.

A generous two-storey colonnade defines the entrance to the building while the top storey steps back from Fountainbridge providing a roof terrace for occupants, with excellent views.

Office accommodation is arranged around the three perimeter sides to maximise daylight and ensure maximum flexibility. The office building has recently been certified with a BREEAM Excellent.

Phase 2 – Residentials and commercial units
This urban marvel offers 236 apartments, 11 townhouses, 3 duplexes, and 3 penthouses, designed to cater to the Build-to-Rent (BTR) market and available from Q1 2025. Vastint UK will operate this property.

Residents can enjoy the bar/café/restaurant overlooking the newly developed Leamington Square and its iconic Lift Bridge. The property will also accommodate resident amenities like a gym and a pet spa. The high-spec apartment interiors reflect both style and functionality. The development also boasts beautifully designed private courtyards and public spaces.

This project combines modern luxury with convenience, set to elevate urban living.
