Transformation of Princes Street Townhouses
Plans have been submitted for the conversion of B-listed buildings on Edinburgh's Princes Street and Hanover Street into 24 serviced apartments and office headquarters.
Serviced apartments developer and operator Destiny Scotland has appointed conservation specialists Studio LBA as the lead consultant and architect for the project.
The B-listed buildings, located within Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site, are currently in a semi-derelict state internally, having laid vacant for several decades.
Destiny Scotland will modify previous proposals to the roof level and retain the first-floor commercial space as an office.
The properties previously received full planning permission and listed building consent for conversion into 30 serviced apartments.
