Marionville Apartments, Edinburgh: Case Study Summary
| Client | Location | Sector | Main Contractor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marionville Apartments | Meadowbank, Edinburgh | Residential | MNM Developments |
Marionville is a high-quality residential development of 51 contemporary two and three bedroom apartments located close to the heart of Edinburgh. It includes four penthouses with roof-top terraces.
Sigmat were appointed by award winning Scottish developers MNM to manufacture, assemble and install the steel frame superstructure, solid concrete floors and allow for a basement car park. Large glazed windows were part of the design to allow natural light to enter the open plan apartments.
A rapid on-site installation enabled the development to be more fully understood by potential buyers at the earliest possible opportunity and thus enable off plan sales to be achieved earlier.
