New build sites in Leith

Every housing site with planning consent that The City of Edinburgh Council’s housing land audit and planning register place in Leith: 19 sites and 659 homes, 659 of them still to build.

The totals count each home once. A site the council's audit already holds under another name, or one announced by a developer and not yet in any council schedule, is drawn on the map and left out of the totals. Last updated August 2026, and refreshed monthly.

Buying into one of these, letting near one, or weighing the return.

A new estate in Leith brings first owners who later move on and let, tenants who want a modern home near the same schools and stations, and a supply figure worth knowing before you buy. Tell us which you are and the right person calls you back.
