The next phase of development at Newcraighall is seeing the construction of 220 new homes – 163 affordable homes in partnership with Hillcrest Homes and 57 build-to-rent (BTR) units for Cullross Living.

The scheme represents the launch of  the developer’s dedicated BTR division, Cullross Living.

The homes at Newcraighall are designed to be energy-efficient and fossil fuel-free, with solar panels.

Works are now under way on site, with the first units set to be completed in summer 2026.

Cullross Living director Mark Beaton said: “It’s become fashionable for everyone, including the Scottish government, to decry a housing emergency but not follow up with how to tackle Scotland’s chronic undersupply of homes. 

“BTR represents a fast-paced, exciting, and pioneering solution to get homes to people and families who need them. BTR are homes exclusively made to rent, meaning dedicated housing stock that provides a faster, energised and adaptive solution to the issues keenly felt today.

“Cullross Living is dedicated to pioneering BTR as a solution. Our sites will offer tenants higher-quality, purpose-built homes with professional management, secure long-term tenancies and predictable rents, promoting a better living experience and a sense of community.

“We are delighted to be launching Cullross Living in 2026, and happier still that we can expand on the exceptional work delivering for Edinburgh with our Newcraighall site.

“The housing emergency is not going to be resolved overnight, and we continue to work with our stakeholders, partners, and supply chain to continue to deliver new homes and play our part in addressing this.”
