Edinburgh’s skyline is forever changing – from the St James Quarter to the transformed Meadowbank Sports Centre.
Such plans can prove controversial, as residents object to building projects that they feel will have a detrimental effect on the city they live in.
But there’s plenty still in the pipeline, with the website www.Skyscrapercity.com listing numerous developments across the city expected to be completed in the next five years – everything from a 1,000-set concert hall in the New Town to a new distillery in Leith.
Here are 14 major developments to look out for in the next five years.
13. Haymarket Yards
Another development in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh, the Haymarket Yards project could transform 1.5 acres of land, adding 22,000 m² office space, a 197 bed hotel and a café. Currently at the planning phase, it's due for completion by 2025. Photo: 7N Architects
