Shore Station is a

rare and exceptional

investment opportunity

Situated in the most desirable Edinburgh location, with proximity to world-class universities and an enhanced lifestyle offering.

Shore Station will represent the most premium PBSA development in Leith and the most exciting new addition to Edinburgh student living.
It’s the largest single-site PBSA scheme in Edinburgh. The scheme is located just metres from the tram stop, which will whisk students into Edinburgh city centre in just 10 minutes. Shore Station will contain a total of 632 student bed spaces set within landscaped gardens and historic buildings.

history of the site

The site comprises the majority of a block between Constitution Street and Baltic Street, in the most eminent area of Leith. 


The site is in the Leith Conservation area and is made up of an attractive and eclectic group of listed Georgian and Victorian  industrial buildings, with a historical role as a naval yard, a granary, coal yard and timber merchant.

The scheme will sympathetically revive some of these historic buildings and combine them with new construction in a fusion of heritage and modern architecture.
