The deal with Watkin Jones, which specialises in the development of residential-for-rent schemes, involves projects close to Murrayfield Stadium and at nearby Gorgie Road.

Gary Holmes, regional managing director of Graham, said: “These projects further bolster our strong position in the student accommodation and build-to-rent sectors. The facilities we are constructing for Watkins Jones will provide high quality student accommodation, incorporating the full range of lifestyle and amenity facilities which today’s students expect.”
