Dundee City Council are to discuss proposals about building 120 new homes at the site of former multi-storey blocks in the city.

It is understood councillors will be asked to approve a contract under the Scape Framework which will see Robertson Group lead the redevelopment at Derby Street.

Kevin Cordell, depute convener of the council's housing committee, said: "The redevelopment of the site of the Derby Street multis for housing is now being planned in line with the vision contained in the Hilltown Physical Regeneration Framework first laid out in 2008.


"In it we set out our vision for Hilltown to become a popular, safe and attractive place to live with a positive identity.

"That vision is becoming a reality and a further 77 homes are being tendered for a start on site early this year.

"These homes will be built for rent through the council and Hillcrest Housing Association and our plans are already well advanced for the remaining part of the Alexander Street site to be re-developed for new school, community and NHS facilities."

The report will be considered by the housing committee at a meeting on Monday, 11 January.
