Construction work has commenced on new council homes in Holehills, Airdrie.
The project will deliver 150 new homes, 19 of which are the first confirmed Net Zero project undertaken by the developer CCG.
The site at Holehills is part of the North Lanarkshire Council's programme to demolish its tower blocks and replace them with new high quality homes for the future. The three tower blocks at Holehills were recently demolished to make way for this exciting new development which includes 11 new wheelchair standard homes, and a mix of one to four bedroom homes, including semi-detached, terraced, cottage flats and bungalows.
Councillor Heather Brannan-McVey, Convener of Housing and Regeneration, visited the site at Dykehead Road as preparation work commenced and viewed the plans for our largest project to date. The new build programme continues to gather momentum and to date, 817 new homes have been completed, with a further 200 under construction and more in the planning stages, reaffirming our commitment to delivering our ambitious housing target of 5,000 new homes by 2035.
The development will be constructed entirely by CCG and will include 19 'pilot' homes that have been designed using an energy strategy that is based upon the firm's recently-launched 'Net Zero Home' building standard.
Sites being recommended for future new build homes include Calderigg Place, Airdrie (approximately 30 houses) and the former Petersburn Primary School, Petersburn Road, Airdrie (approximately 40 houses).
