Located in one of Edinburgh's most desirable and well-connected districts, 14 & 14A Coates Crescent represents a unique and highly attractive development prospect in a prime city centre location.


Situated in the heart of Edinburgh's highly desirable West End, 14 Coates Crescent occupies a prime position on a street renowned for its elegant Georgian architecture and dynamic mix of uses. Attractive period townhouses characterise the surrounding area, many of which have been successfully redeveloped into stylish offices, luxury family homes and apartments, and boutique hospitality venues, underlining its proven potential for high-quality conversion. Just a short walk from Princes Street and the city centre, the West End offers an exceptional blend of cultural, commercial, and lifestyle amenities. The immediate vicinity is home to a range of well-established occupiers, including Caffè Nero, Black Sheep Coffee, Paper Tiger, Sainsbury's, and several embassies, reflecting the area's enduring appeal to both local and international audiences. Connectivity is a key strength of the location. The West End tram stop lies directly across the street, offering fast and direct links to Edinburgh Airport, while Haymarket Station is just a five-minute walk away, providing mainline rail access across Scotland and beyond. Multiple bus routes also serve the area, ensuring excellent city-wide reach. The wider West End continues to see significant investment, with new commercial, hospitality, and leisure offerings enhancing the neighbourhood's vibrancy. As a result, Coates Crescent represents a particularly compelling opportunity for developers and investors seeking to deliver a premium scheme in one of Edinburgh's most established and well-connected districts.
