Area classed as very deprived despite prime central location
This cleared, largely level central plot of approximately 170sqm sits in the heart of Edinburgh New Town, within yards of Edinburgh Playhouse, Omni Centre, Calton Hill and minutes from Waverley Station and the St James Quarter. Private access is from Greenside Row off Leith Walk, placing the site amid strong footfall, transport links and a wide range of retail, dining and leisure amenities.
The site offers clear potential for redevelopment or alternative uses subject to research and obtaining necessary planning permissions. For an investor or developer targeting city-centre opportunities, the compact size and central position could suit a small residential infill, build-to-let unit(s) or a mixed-use micro-development, depending on statutory consents and design constraints.
Buyers should note there is no stated planning permission in place and tenure is listed as unknown; any development will require formal planning enquiries and possibly surveys. The plot sits in an area described as very deprived, which affects local socio-economic statistics despite its prime central location. The lot is being sold at auction (24 October 2025) with enhanced terms and a buyers’ fee applicable — prospective purchasers must allow time for legal and planning due diligence prior to bidding.
In short: the site’s location and cleared, level condition make it an attractive city-centre development prospect, but it is a speculative purchase that requires planning research, confirmation of tenure and readiness to proceed through an auction process.
