Places for People has acquired the bulk of the Lochend Butterfly, two large parcels of land, joined by a bridge, located between Easter Road and Meadowbank. The site is earmarked for 250 new houses for sale as well as 100 affordable housing policy units. This project will be the largest single development by Places for People to date in Scotland. Once completed the affordable homes will transfer to Castle Rock Edinvar and Lothian Homes' property management portfolios.
