## Resource

An old Victorian engine shed in Leith, dating back to 1894, is set for a dramatic makeover into serviced apartments right beside the Ocean Terminal. R1 Properties Group LTD plans to preserve key historic features like brick piers and original-style engine doors while upgrading with new slate roofing, zinc dormers, and modern windows—some with obscured glass to respect neighbors. Architects tout the location’s prime spot near shops and transport, plus thoughtful design to minimize noise and privacy concerns. The council is now reviewing the proposal, which already faces a few public objections—this could be the last surviving piece of Leith North Goods Station’s legacy.
