First footers step into new life at The Crescent
The first footers in the neighbourhood at Edinburgh’s newest upmarket development are now settled in their dream home. Husband and wife, Dr Amin and Mary Spillane, were the very first buyers to move into their new home at The Crescent by CALA Homes (East) following its launch earlier this year.
The couple sought to downsize from their fivebedroom family home in Dunfermline, also built by CALA, settling into a modern, two-bedroom apartment at The Crescent.
Dr Amin, a semi-retired doctor, and Mary, a retired nurse, chose this particular spot as they had been so pleased with the service they had received from CALA in 2002.
They said: ‘As we have family links to Ireland, we originally thought about relocating back there at this time in life.
‘But we’d been aware of The Crescent development for a long time and finally visited it in August last year. After seeing the apartments for ourselves, we decided it really was the perfect spot.
‘The design is very modern and the location is excellent – it’s got lots of green space but is still close to the city. You just won’t get anything else like it in Edinburgh.’
A bold and sweeping arc of 84 enhanced height, glass-fronted apartments, The Crescent is nestled to the private rear of Edinburgh’s iconic Donaldson’s estate.
Just a mile west of Princes Street, the collection of apartments in this 18-acre estate offer buyers an idyllic rural escape whilst still being in the heart of the capital.
Currently available at The Crescent, CALA’s Guaranteed Buyer service is just one of a number of tailored incentives available.
Philip Hogg, Sales and Marketing Director with CALA Homes (East), said: ‘We’re delighted that The Crescent is living up to expectations, and that the service received is continually making lasting impressions on our customers.
‘CALA’s Guaranteed Buyer service is a great option as it will ease any worries about selling your home, which can be a very stressful time’.
Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Murphy OBE, The Crescent comprises some of Edinburgh’s most sought-after new residences. Currently priced from £950,000 to £1,775,000, a range of two and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses are available.
