Bellway Homes has acquired land in the West of Scotland, with plans to build 11 new residential developments.
The Hamilton-based division of the national house builder aims to deliver a further 1,900 new homes in the region.
The newly acquired sites, which span a combined 149 net acres, are located at Gartcosh, Moodiesburn, Glengarnock, Renfrew, Cumbernauld, Ruchill, Newmains, East Kilbride, Kilmarnock, Irvine and Stirling.
Infrastructure works have now started on the first sites to launch, including Ashlar Village in Ruchill, Manor Glen in Moodiesburn, Fardalehill in Kilmarnock and Montgomerie Park in Irvine.
Subject to planning, the remaining sites will launch thereafter. As a result of the investment, the company is also creating a number of new sales and construction jobs.
Fraser Conn, managing director at Bellway Homes (Scotland West), said: “The housing market continues to be buoyant however, with the acquisition of land becoming more challenging so we are delighted to have secured these new sites.
“Although we fully recognise the imbalance of the rising cost of living, the housing shortage remains despite the pent-up demand created as a result of the pandemic.”
