class=\"w-100\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Developer Vastint UK has launched its first build-to-rent (BTR) scheme in Scotland, with the launch of 253 new homes in Edinburgh city centre.<\/p>\n<p>The development, which is managed and let by Native Communities, features high-spec finishes, sleek modern furnishings and a prime waterside setting.<\/p>\n<p>In the works since 2016, New Fountainbridge is located on the Union Canal on a former brownfield development site and features a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom townhouses.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by architects 3DReid, all of the homes\u00a0have been built around private courtyards, with residents also able to benefit from a seven-day-a-week concierge, bike storage and private parking.<\/p>\n<p>The site includes 63 homes available at intermediate market rent (IMR).\u00a0All the homes are pet-friendly, meaning furry friends are welcome at no extra cost.<\/p>\n<p>Zhaleah Qayyum, head of residential sales and lettings at Vastint UK, said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be launching New Fountainbridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our first development in Scotland and we\u2019re thrilled to be bringing our beautifully designed, high-quality new homes to a location which is close to the city centre and also offers views of the iconic Union Canal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with Native Communities, New Fountainbridge is about more than just the bricks and mortar, we\u2019re committed to creating a dynamic community which blends city centre buzz with tranquil waterside living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alec Newton, director of origination at Native Communities, added: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be partnering with Vastint UK on their first build-to-rent development in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Fountainbridge sets a new benchmark for rental living in Edinburgh that combines thoughtfully designed homes and a waterside setting, reflecting the energy and culture of the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur focus at Native is on creating expertly operated communities with soul, and we\u2019re excited to welcome the first residents later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new development also includes 8,500 sq ft of commercial space on the ground floor, with Vastint UK keen to attract retail and leisure operators that will further enhance the offer to residents.<\/p>\n<p>The first residents of New Fountainbridge will be welcomed this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Developer Vastint UK has launched its first build-to-rent (BTR) scheme in Scotland, with the launch of 253
