A £100 million scheme has been launched in Montrose which will see the town's former Royal Hospital redeveloped into a residential site.
Sunnyside Estates Ltd, a joint venture between local company Pert-Bruce Construction and Edinburgh-based luxury developer FM Group, is leading the project as it looks to deliver 450 new homes in the area.
The 64-acre site will include luxury apartments and town homes, as well as two new built areas destined for family homes – The Woods and The Orchard. It will form the centrepiece of Sunnyside Estate, set within acres of rural landscape.
Residents will also enjoy access to a community facility located in the original Recreation Hall of Sunnyside main building. The development will be linked by a network of walkway and cycle routes through the open landscaped and mature woodland areas.
The project is expected to stimulate the local economy by creating around 50 local jobs over the next 10 years.
Local stakeholders including local councillors Mark Salmond, Tommy Stewart, Bill Duff and Ron Sturrock joined John Milne and Richard Milne from FM Group and Craig Bruce, Jamie Pert and David Stewart from Pert Bruce Construction, to celebrate the sales launch of the Angus site.
Craig Bruce from Pert Bruce Construction said: "As a local, family company we look forward to delivering a high-quality residential development, transforming this magnificent site and ensuring that it will once again be prominent in the local community.
"We are passionate about building quality developments that preserve our country's heritage. In this context we worked closely with the local community and planners to develop proposals that maintain the history and heritage of the former hospital and natural environment along with consideration to both existing and new communities.
"Our desire to create a benefit for the local area, and this together with sustaining and creating local jobs has been foremost in our vision for Sunnyside.
"We anticipate this development to be successful and well-received by the local community."
Robert Croll from FM Group added: "We are very proud to be bringing luxury apartments in this historic listed building onto the market as well as family homes in the estate grounds.
"Given the uniqueness of the Estate it will undoubtedly be in extremely high demand, delivering a desirable and sustainable place for those living here. We look forward to welcoming people here to view what Sunnyside Estate has to offer.
"Sunnyside Estate represents an idyllic setting, history and a uniqueness seldom found in other sites and we are very excited about bringing it forward."
