Edinburgh Marina targets retirement living in Granton
October 16 2018
Edinburgh Marina Holdings have launched 106 apartments designed specifically for the over-55 market, dovetailing with the release of 340 berths within the marina itself.
Royal Wharf retirement apartments sits within the waterfront masterplan, drawing downsizers with the promise of a 24-hour concierge, private storage and car parking with charging points. Residents will also benefit from a private dining room, cinema, business centre, dog grooming facility and communal laundry.
Designed by Wilson + Gunn the latest plans incorporate private balconies with construction likely before the end of the year.
Melinda Illes, head of new business for DJ Alexander said: “With ever growing demand for rental properties across the Scottish capital, the investment potential is huge for these properties. We are confident that this part of the city will become a real destination and we are delighted to be contributing to the legacy of Edinburgh Marina.”
Efforts to transform Granton Harbour into a destination in its own right include a 23-hectare marina, health hub, shops, spa and conference hotel.

Design aspect -- filler at best plus not a fan of the stand out balconies.
Finally regarding the over 55 vibe -- is that who can stay in them or who can buy them?
