Dunbritton Housing's new and exciting energy efficient, affordable housing development in Helensburgh has been officially opened and has welcomed its new residents.
The project was constructed in partnership with Dunbritton Housing Association. The 12 apartments, which are accessed via East King Street, were available for social rent.
Work began last summer following funding from the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) and Argyll and Bute Council’s Strategic Housing Fund, as well as private funding from Dunbritton Housing Association.
Dunbritton’s Chairperson, Sephton MacQuire, visited the flats upon completion to officially cut the ribbon and welcome its residents.
He said: “It was with great pleasure that I was asked to officially open our new Jeanie Deans development of twelve flats, both single and double occupancy.
“This was much needed in Helensburgh, where there are so many applicants on the Home Argyll housing register.
“This was achieved through excellent partnership working with our development consultants, MacDonald Cameron; the continued financial support of the CAF Bank and the Scottish Government; and The JR Group who constructed the development on time and within budget.”
We worked alongside MAST Architects, G3 Consulting Engineers, NBM Construction Cost Consultants and Macdonald & Cameron Ltd to bring the project to life.
Sandra Lindsay, Development Director, for The JR Group, said: “This was the first project we have delivered for Dunbritton Housing Association and we hope it marks the start of a great partnership and the first of many developments."
