Boroughmuir

Standing proud in the affluent area of Bruntsfield, the distinctive B-listed building has been refurbished as the developer fuses heritage and provenance with a modern twist, to create a unique new collection of contemporary apartments.

 

Designed and built by John Alexander Carfrae in 1912, Boroughmuir is originally the Boroughmuir High School steeped in Edinburgh history. With most of the one, two- and three-bedroom apartments offering up to 7-metre-high ceiling heights within the main living spaces for selected apartments, they are designed to provoke a ‘New York’ loft-apartment feel, further enhanced with the charm and character of the historic Scottish building.

As Scotland’s capital, along with its heritage, Edinburgh is evolving and continues to add to its charm and appeal. A thriving technology sector including Home grown companies Skyscanner and Rockstar North (game developer) adds to its status as a flourishing business hub, alongside a well-established and globally regarded financial services offering which is largest financial centre in Scotland. The growth of its festivals, from the world-renowned comedy Fringe, Food Festival, Art Festival and the Military Tattoo - to Hogmanay and an emerging film festival, makes it among the world’s most diverse cultural hot-spots. Edinburgh will also benefit from the £1.3 billion investment into the area along with south east of Scotland. This investment over the next 15 years will help boost innovation, create jobs and open up new economic opportunities.

Edinburgh is also home to a number of good Universities- University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh Napier University which has a campus nearby to Boroughmuir. Working alongside the growth of the technology sector, the University of Edinburgh, has a rich heritage and history and well renowned Alumni includes Charles Darwin, Alexander Graham Bell, David Hume and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is currently ranked 29th in the Times world Ranking in 2019.
