Work began in September 2006 on the greenfield site alongside private developers that had already started building. The aim of Irvine's development was to provide quality affordable housing that blended in with the surrounding area.
The Association delivered this by building 45 houses that reflect the current style and trend seen in many new build properties today. Of the 45 houses there are 34 two-bed and 10 three-bed general needs accommodation along with 1 three-bed wheelchair property.
Nicola Sturgeon said: "I'm delighted to be able to open Montgomerie Park and I'd like to congratulate Irvine for all the hard work that's brought us to this stage.
"The new homes in will be a valuable boost to affordable housing provision in Irvine and it's extremely pleasing for me to see that the residents are already settling in to their new community."
