Broomview House

From UK Housing Wiki

Broomview House is an 11 storey tower block in Sighthill, Edinburgh. It is the only slab block on the estate and is currently being prepared for demolition.

Approved in 1965, construction on the 46m tall building was carried out by Crudens Ltd. The building contains 95 flats. As a housing stock transfer was rejected in December 2005, Broomview House was confirmed to have no future in Edinburgh City Council's long term plans. Residents were slowly being rehoused throughout 2007 and it will be the first building to be demolished in the notorious housing scheme. The regeneration is expected to cost around £60m.
