The Living for Retirement development put forward by Wilson Gunn, will form a key element of the forthcoming £500m, 28-hectare Edinburgh Marina redevelopment.

Living for Retirement will be a first for Edinburgh and for Scotland, designed to provide the over-55s with the means to lead an active, fulfilling retirement.

The scheme, set around a private one-acre landscaped garden, will comprise:

• 104 high-end spacious one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments
  
  
• shared amenities including dedicated guest accommodation, a 24-hour concierge service, secure private storage spaces and car parking.
  
  
• steam and sauna rooms
  
  
• a private cinema
  
  
• bistro
  
  
• lounge
  
  
• library
  
  
• laundry room 

Developer, Kevin Fawcett, said: “Living for Retirement will take retirement living to a new level. The development will bring a unique new offering to the Edinburgh property market, delivering a level of design and service that raises the bar above any retirement living options currently available”.   

Construction is expected to begin on site later this year.
