AMA, Grosvenor and RBS have unveiled their plans for the Springside quarter, the new £200 million development at Fountainbridge.

The eight-acre site will provide 650 new homes and 140,000 square feet of commercial space.

The first phase of the scheme, which has been designed by Oberlanders, has recently received planning permission. It includes city blocks organised around large courtyards, two tree-lined avenues linking Fountainbridge to the Western Approach Road and a new public park.

The project has received backing from Sir Sean Connery, who grew up in the area and the plans are a product of a detailed consultation with local residents and businesses.
