Bield Housing & Care has been shortlisted for a prize in the Scottish Home Awards 2019.
The housing provider for older people will compete for the Age Exclusive Development of the Year at a ceremony next month.
The Meadows Apartments development in Lenzie is being recognised, which comprises 24 one and two-bedroom luxury apartments exclusively for those over the age of 50. It was developed in collaboration with Robertson Homes.
This project will go head-to-head with Fotheringham Property Developments' Eden Manor, Stonehaven for the title.
Caryn Innes, Head of Development at Bield, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for this year's Scottish Home Awards for our Lenzie development.
"The Meadows has proved extremely popular, especially with local downsizers, thanks to the apartments' contemporary design and leafy setting less than 15 minutes from Glasgow's city centre.
"Last year our Fleming Place development in Edinburgh was nominated for Small Affordable Housing Development of The Year. To see another of our developments acknowledged this year is fantastic.
"Our team has been working extremely hard to create high quality housing and ownership options that provide older people with greater independence and support their needs as they age.
"We are looking forward to the event in June. Congratulations to everyone shortlisted and fingers crossed we can take home the award."
The Scottish Home Awards is the country's largest independent awards programme, promoting excellence in building, design and marketing across the housebuilding industry.
This year saw the highest number of entries in the competition's 12-year history, with a panel of 14 judges from across the housebuilding sector reviewing more than 150 submissions for 19 categories.
Winners of the Scottish Home Awards 2019 will be announced on Thursday 13 June at a black tie ceremony at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in central Glasgow.
