A quarter mile from Edinburgh Castle, a quarter mile from the Royal Mile and a quarter mile from corner to corner, a vibrant new area has blossomed within the Scottish capital’s World Heritage site. Master-planned by world-renowned architects Foster + Partners, Quartermile blends the capitals heritage with striking new additions to form an exciting business and residential community. Residents are moving into the new luxury apartments, businesses have relocated here and new cafes and shops are open for business. A new 24-hour pure gym has also now opened on site offering residents state of the art gym equipment at anytime of the day or night.
Celesta Phase
Designed by world renowned architects Foster + Partners, this new phase, released for sale April 2010, comprises a selection of desirable one bedroom apartments, topped by a stunning two bedroom penthouse with large terrace. Celesta apartments represent an outstanding opportunity to occupy an expertly designed modern urban apartment, particularly appealing to first time buyers and investors.
Life in the heart of Edinburgh
Quartermile opens up new opportunities for living. Until now, large contemporary spaces have been difficult to find within the city centre.
Situated in a desirable city centre location bordering The Meadows, Quartermile appeals to a wide range of homebuyers comprising both striking contemporary new build homes as well as sensitive period conversions.
All of the contemporary new build properties available at the development have been designed by Foster + Partners. The interiors incorporate high quality minimalist features to create an air of understated elegance, whilst oak flooring combined with pure white walls succeed in generating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Each of the conversion apartments at Quartermile enjoy a unique layout to maximise the features of the original buildings. They reflect Edinburgh's distinctive architecture and character, seamlessly blending old and new to give a unique combination of period style and the best in contemporary living.
Quartermile also opens up new views. Across the meadows, towards the castle or to the distant Salisbury Crags. Apartments with full-width glass walls open up the living space, bringing the sights of surrounding historic buildings inside, creating a bright, open environment.
Interiors
Within the apartments, the outlook is equally appealing. Natural wood floors and high-specification finishes will create a calm, timeless environment.
The apartments have floor areas from 460 to 2,000 sq ft, with one to four bedrooms and open-plan kitchens. All will benefit from their setting within Quartermile, with its vibrant mix of cafés, bars, restaurants and shops.

Many directly overlook the Meadows or enjoy fantastic views to the city centre or the south of Edinburgh. Each apartment or penthouse will provide the ultimate in high-specification modern living, surrounded by the unique architecture of Edinburgh's former Royal Infirmary and proving that 21st century architecture can sit happily amid historic buildings.
