21st Century Homes for Edinburgh

21st Century Homes is the name of the City of Edinburgh Council’s exciting new programme to build homes for sale and for rent. This is a programme of Council-led investment worth up to £150 million, aiming to build 1300 homes across Edinburgh. These homes will be the first Council homes built in the city for a generation.

The first three areas included in the programme are Gracemount, North Sighthill and Pennywell & Muirhouse. The new homes built here will contribute towards Edinburgh meeting the need for 16,600 new affordable homes over the next ten years.

This page provides an overview of the developments within the programme.  Further detail can be found using the links below.
