Cruden Building has successfully completed the latest phase of the East Balornock development in the north of Glasgow, on behalf of Home Group Scotland.
Cruden Building was awarded the £6.5m to develop Phase 6 at East Balornock, creating 35 highly sought-after affordable homes at the site on Broomton Road. Home Group Scotland and Cruden Building have been working with Glasgow City Council on this development which has been built over six phases to date, and is part of a wider £50m landmark regeneration of the East Balornock area which will create around 320 new homes overall.
The latest phase of development includes a range of affordable housing including one- and two-bedroom flats, two-bedroom bungalows and three- and four-bedroom houses.
The homes benefit from excellent energy efficiency, with solar panels to all homes, high performance insulation to floors, walls and ceilings and double glazing throughout. There is also provision for future electric vehicle chargers if required.
The communal areas have been landscaped with a variety of shrubs, heathers and trees for the enjoyment of residents. There are also drying areas, bicycle storage and a children’s play park.
Steven Simpson Managing Director of The Cruden Group said: “We have now constructed four out of the six phases of this transformational housing development. Delivering these new homes continues to build on our portfolio of new affordable and private housing developments across Central Scotland and enhances our strong working relationship with Home Group Scotland. The end result is this fantastic development of high quality, energy-efficient and affordable homes and we are very much looking forward to working with Home Group on the next phase of regeneration of the vibrant and growing neighbourhood of East Balornock.”
Elaine Galbraith, Senior Development & Delivery Manager at Home Group Scotland, added: “We’re really pleased to have completed another phase of our East Balornock estate regeneration programme. It has required us to build and maintain strong working relationships with our partners and stakeholders.
“Every time we get to see our customers moving into their new homes, it makes us so proud of the work that we’re doing. We look forward to continuing our work with Cruden in the future.”
