The contractor had already handed over the first phase of the development at 61-63 London Road, which created 198 beds, across six storeys, along with office and community space on the ground floor.

The second phase has created another 76 beds, with a link corridor connecting this building to the phase 1 development.

Michael Scanlan, director of Clark Contracts, said: “It has been great to work on this major student accommodation in Edinburgh, where we have delivered over 800 student beds in the last 3 years.”
