New Town Quarter is a low carbon community in the centre of Edinburgh

The buildings are part of an overall project approach to the management and reduction of whole life carbon making sure that both the embodied carbon during construction & operational carbon post completion are minimised and measured.

The Network has been designed and is being constructed to deliver optimal carbon performance. It follows the UKGBC framework on delivering net zero buildings. It is highly efficient, all electric and optimises the use of renewable energy.

Low impact transport is provisioned by way of bike parking and EV infrastructure. Occupier well-being is further enhanced by technology which optimises:

• Daylighting
• Temperature control and monitoring
• Humidity control

We have created a new contemporary hub that plugs-in to the unique character of the adjacent UNESCO world heritage site.

bringing natural light and vibrancy into the double height
lobby and exclusive roof terraces offering unparalleled views
across the iconic city skyline.’
