New developer Vivere has acquired Lansdowne House in Edinburgh from St George\u2019s Schooland plans to convert it into a \u00a325m care home.<\/p>\n

Vivere is now looking for other sites in the city, the Lothians and Fife to turn into similar homes.<\/p>\n

Vivere was formed by a joint venture between Probitas, a specialist in extra care and senior living homes, and local contractor the Stephenson Group.<\/p>\n

Scott Curran, Co-Founding Director of Vivere said: \u201cIt is our aim to create a portfolio of high-quality extra care living communities in Scotland, commencing in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

“These will be high quality homes, alongside on-site amenities and tailored care services to suit resident\u2019s needs. Our aim is for our residents to live longer, not grow old.<\/p>\n

The provision of extra care communities will help to relieve local pressures on NHS services, as well as providing homes to the hugely undersupplied housing sector in Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin Stephenson, Chairman of Stephenson Group and Co-founding director of Vivere added: \u201cScotland, like the rest of the UK, has an overwhelming demand to provide housing with care and services to a large and fast-growing older demographic, but with the key difference for Scotland currently being the huge lack of supply of these tailored homes and services within the housing sector.<\/p>\n

“With its development plans Vivere aims to provide a quality product to the market and help to meet the demands in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
