The development was also the first building in Europe to achieve the highest, 3-star Fitwel rating, demonstrating Moda's commitment to maximising the health and wellbeing of its residents and the wider Edinburgh community.

The build generated 419 weeks of on-site apprenticeship training, with 244 local people employed on the site.

Jamie Snary, Executive Director Asset Management and Operations at Apache Capital said: 'The McEwan is another exemplar BTR asset forming part of our prime regional portfolio, bringing another 139 homes into operation adding to the 6,000 units which are either operational or in the development pipeline. Alongside welcoming our new residents we have also secured the first commercial occupiers including a convenience-led retailer which will be opening imminently.' Elliot Robertson, Chief Executive Officer, Robertson Group, said: 'Working closely with Moda, we've brought new life to a once underused part of the city to create a thriving neighbourhood that has become a welcome addition to Edinburgh. This project gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our expertise in operating safely in complex, busy environments while not compromising the quality standards that Robertson is known for. 'A real focus of our approach was to ensure that we provided long-lasting benefits for the local economy and community throughout construction. It's fantastic that we achieved this by supporting local suppliers, creating jobs, and offering apprenticeships that will help build skills for the future.'
