Hundreds of house hunters are chasing apartments at one of Edinburgh’s most in-demand new property developments – which includes penthouses boasting jaw-dropping views across the capital’s skyline.
Ahead of its official sales launch last Friday, property agents Savills received more than 600 separate inquiries for the 67 St Bernards project at Canonmills, making it the most highly anticipated development the estate agent has seen in Edinburgh.
Prospective buyers will be given virtual tours of the properties using the same cutting-edge Unreal Engine software used in hit video games such as Fortnite and Final Fantasy series, providing hyper-realistic CGI walkthroughs of the apartments, which are set to be completed next summer.
