Stunning apartments with impressive views towering over the Firth of Firth and Edinburgh Skyline will be unveiled this weekend, 10th and 11th February, at the Upper Strand's Tower development on Edinburgh Waterfront.

A stunning three bedroom show apartment will be launched within The Tower, the flagship of the Phase One development at Upper Strand, which is a joint venture between urban regeneration specialists, The Burrell Company, and Places for People, to showcase the design, layout and most importantly the views from this iconic building.

Featuring 41, one, two and three bedroom apartments, duplexes, penthouses and work/live pads, prices start from £140,000. Each property has been individually styled and developed by architects Rieach and Hall and boasts a mixture of views from the Forth road and rail bridges and Fife to Edinburgh Castle and the city centre skyline.

The three-bed show apartment, which is light and spacious with full height glazing, is situated on the second floor of The Tower with views towards Cramond and the Forth bridges. Supplied by leading manufacturer, ALNO, the kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliances. Both the bathroom and en-suite are stylishly designed with white suites and chrome fittings, and all bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Timber laminate flooring is fitted in the hallway, living and kitchen areas.

Andrew Burrell, Managing Director of The Burrell Company, said: "We are delighted to be launching The Tower at Upper Strand, which is the flagship of this development. We are confident house hunters will be completely overwhelmed by the views, location, facilities and affordable prices and we anticipate all 41 apartments will be snapped up in record time."

With free secure parking with options to purchase a space in two years, excellent transport links to the city centre, exciting future plans for the area, the unique district heating and underground refuse systems and sophisticated recycling facilities, these are just a few of the features set to appeal to new homeowners.

Located within close proximity to the city centre of Edinburgh and Ocean Terminal, the development is part of the larger Waterfront Edinburgh Ltd regeneration programme, to develop over 500 new homes, tree-lined boulevards, wide walkways and cycle paths, leading to squares and piazzas enhanced by sculptures, water features and extensive planting over the next five years.

Upper Strand has already been recognised as one of the best examples of housing design, layout and landscaping in the UK, after being named Best Housing Project at the National HomeBuilder Design Awards last year. The development has also been shortlisted by the Scottish Design Awards 2006 as a potential 'Proposed Place Making' winner.

Colin Rae, Development Director in Scotland for Places for People, added: "The Tower development is a great example of an impressive design, in a fantastic location with properties available at affordable prices. Like many other apartments at Upper Strand, The Tower is definitely a must-see for people looking for a home with a unique style, space, views and within close proximity to the city centre."

The Tower development completes phase one of the Upper Strand project with plans to unveil phase 2 later this year.

Phase one at Upper Strand comprises a variety of styles of apartments in three different blocks; A, B and C. The Tower is situated in Block C, however limited two bedroom properties remain available to view in Block A, prices from £169,950.
