A landmark handover for S1 Developments this month, marking the completion of the transformation of the historic former Tynecastle High School in Gorgie.
Delivered by S1 Developments as both developer and main contractor, the project has transformed this much-loved Edinburgh landmark into a 473-bed student residence for the University of Edinburgh, completed on time and handed over this September.
At the heart of the development, the historic school façade has been carefully retained, complemented by new buildings and a collegiate-style landscaped courtyard.
A significant project for S1 Developments and a new chapter for one of Gorgie’s historic buildings sensitively repurposed for generations to come.
A huge thank you to our project partners and everyone involved in bringing this development through to completion.
