Scotland’s largest build-to-rent urban development is set to be launched for sale.
The south side of Edinburgh Park will bring 1,180 homes, described as “much needed housing stock” by developer Parabola.
Cushman & Wakefield has been instructed by the Edinburgh-based developer to secure a single funding partner by the end of the year, The Herald understands.
It is claimed the project will be a "European exemplar" of mixed use development.

Tony Hordon, managing director of Parabola said: "This has been considerable years in the planning, extensive research across the UK and Europe and of course working with City of Edinburgh Council.
"We are absolutely delighted to be in this position, with our detailed planning application submitted, and hopefully the opportunity to go to committee shortly.
"Perhaps more importantly, the opportunity to deliver much needed housing stock to the City of Edinburgh in a new urban quarter with a feel, quality and arts programme which we have taken from our travels across Europe – what we hope will be a European exemplar in mixed use design and place.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
