Graham team lands Meadowbank housing

A consortium led by Graham has won a 600-home project as part of regeneration work in Meadowbank, Edinburgh.The Edinburgh Meadowbank Group (EDMB), which is made up of Graham, Miller Homes and Panacea Property Development has been appointed by the City of Edinburgh Council to deliver the multi-million-pound regeneration housing development.EDMB’s appointment was formally approved by the council’s finance and resources committee.Meadowbank is intended to become one of ‘greenest neighbourhoods’, by incorporating low-car, low-carbon infrastructure and energy-efficient homes.EDMB, with EMA Architects, will progress design and pre-construction works by early 2023 ahead of the start of construction work on the site, which is adjacent to the new Meadowbank Sports Centre off London Road.Approximately 600 new mixed-tenure homes for sale and rent will be built, at least 35% of which are designed to be affordable. A number will be fully wheelchair adapted.In partnership with the council, EDMB has also committed to realising a range of community benefits including seven new apprenticeship positions, 14 new job opportunities and a donation of up to £100,000 to support the important work of local community groups.
