Link tops Biggest Builders list for second year
In addition to topping the list of Scotland’s developers, Link is the UK’s 12th biggest builder.
Housing and community organisation Link has been named Scotland’s top developing landlord in Inside Housing’s Top 50 Biggest Builders for the second year.
In addition to topping the list of Scotland’s developers, Link is the UK’s 12th biggest builder.
Link Group Commercial Director and C~urb Managing Director Colin Culross said: “In delivering 1,040 houses and flats, Link completed more homes in 2021/22 than ever before.
“The Scottish Government’s commitment to building more homes and financial support remain a key driver for Link in being Scotland’s biggest builders of affordable homes.
“This commitment is carried forward by C~urb, Link’s latest partner, which we launched in April to deliver a wide range of market facing, sustainability-focused property development, maintenance, and management services.
“We are operating in extremely challenging times; however, Link has many advantages to overcome these. Firstly, I think we have the best people. Our C~urb Property Development team has been instrumental in managing a complex programme through these challenges.
“Our managers, development officers, clerk of works and supporting admin staff have all been instrumental in delivering this success.
“Creating sustainable communities is more than a strapline for us. It’s a fundamental aim to ensure we address an immediate housing need, which is transformative; providing a positive community legacy, where the diversity of a community provides people with a better chance to sustain it, fulfil their potential and take pride in their neighbourhood.
“Our latest award-winning development at Riverside Dalmarnock is a great example of placemaking and providing the foundation for a positive legacy for the community who want to live there.”
Earlier this year, Riverside Dalmarnock won Affordable Housing Development of Year and Housing Regeneration Project of the Year at Scottish Home Awards, Architecture: Regeneration at the Scottish Design Awards and Large Development of the Year at the Homes for Scotland awards. Link is on track to deliver another 3,000 homes across Scotland between now and 2025.
