Cruden is set to build nearly 50 affordable homes on a brownfield site in Craigshill, Livingston
A disused 1.2 hectare brownfield site in Craigshill, Livingston, will become home to 49 energy efficient, affordable properties, via Cruden for the Link Group.
The £8.7m development will create sustainable flats across across three blocks, which will be three and four storeys high.
Residents will be able to access the one and two bedroom homes as social rental.
Bringing sustainability and affordable housing to Craigshill
Electric vehicle charging points, bike storage and on-site parking will be incorporated into the design, as well as green space for the residents to enjoy.
The brownfield site on Sydney Street is close to a variety of amenities, with shopping venues, health centres and schools nearby. Transport links connect Craigshill to the surrounding communities and train stations at Livingston and Uphall have regular trains to Edingburgh and Glasgow city centres.
The brownfield development is due to be completed in Summer 2025
Fraser Lynes, managing director of Cruden Homes, said: “We are pleased to continue our successful relationship with Link as work gets underway at Sydney Street. This exciting development will transform a previously empty site to bring quality, new homes to the local area.
“Craigshill is a strong location with plenty of amenities nearby to cater to the everyday needs of residents. These new homes will make a great addition to the surrounding community, providing attractive and sustainable living space at a time when it is needed most.”
Colin Culross, group commercial director of Link Group, said:“Link is delighted to continue its partnership with Cruden Homes to deliver much needed affordable housing at Sydney Street. The new homes will be energy efficient delivering zero emissions heating systems which assists with our sustainability journey towards net zero, a key focus for Link.”
