The Provost of Inverness Cllr Helen Carmichael added: "Increasing the number of high quality and affordable homes for rent is one of Highland Council's priorities so I am delighted that our close partnership with the Highland Housing Alliance over this development has been such a success. Everyone involved should feel proud of their hard work.
