A NEW development of affordable housing in Carluke built by Rosewood
Homes has been formally handed over to Clyde Valley Housing Association.
The £2.6million development on the site of the old Carluke
Rovers stadium at Shieldhill Road comprises five blocks of nineteen two bedroom and six one bedroom properties.
Keys to the development, which was completed ahead of schedule, were handed over
to Clyde Valley Housing Association’s clerk of works Graham Morrison by Rosewood Homes Construction Director Lou Lauder.
Lou, from Carluke, said: “We are delighted to have continued
our partnership with Clyde Valley Housing Association in the project which will
provide much-needed, high quality new homes in Carluke.
“We have an excellent relationship with Clyde Valley Housing
Association and we currently have two other projects in Carluke and Larkhall
with them already confirmed. Work on them will start in the near future.”
Campbell Boyd, chairman of Clyde Valley Housing Association,
said: “It is very pleasing to be working with our partners at Rosewood Homes
and see the positive outcomes and our ambitions to address the demand for high
quality affordable social housing being realised.
“The board of the association is committed to meeting
the significant demand for housing need and growing our housing stock with
high-quality, energy-efficient properties
“All in all, our aim is to offer a complete package to
our customers, providing them with great homes in a pleasant environment and in
which they can take pride and enjoy living and this is definitely the case at
this new estate in Carluke.”
Rosewood Homes now move on to two other projects in Carluke
with building on 12 luxury flats starting in March on the site of the old
Welfare Hall at Sandy Road and an application for planning permission submitted
for six luxury detached houses at Luggie Road.
Lou added: “As well as affordable, social housing there is a
need for high-quality private housing in Carluke and the surrounding area and
we have established a reputation for delivering high-end workmanship over many
years.
“Because of that the Sandy Road and Luggie Road projects are
already attracting attention from potential buyers.”
