New apartment buildings in the Edinburgh Waterfront area on a site that formerly housed port-related industries

The Granton Waterfront regeneration is a redevelopment of parts of

Telford College
at Granton, and approximately 16,000 square metres (170,000 sq ft) of commercial office space.

A new road, Waterfront Avenue, has been constructed at Granton along with a 110 acres (45 ha) public park as part of National Grid's Forthquarter development.

Following the recession of 2008 a new Area Development Framework has been prepared by the planning authority reflecting a flexible approach to future development.

A new waterside promenade has started which will link the river Almond at Cramond to the Esk at Joppa allowing access to 18 kilometres of walkway/cycleway.
