Transformation of former Viewforth High site in Kirkcaldy gathers pace

Viewforth, Kirkcaldy

WHITEBURN Projects has delivered 15 new affordable homes to Kingdom Housing Association as part of the transformation of the former Viewforth High School site in Kirkcaldy.

The mix of two-bedroom cottage flats and two, three, and four-bedroom homes marks the completion of the first partnership between Kingdom and Whiteburn Projects to supply affordable homes for rent in Fife.

Eve McCurrich, MD for Whiteburn Projects, said, “We are pleased to have completed the delivery of 15 much-needed affordable homes for Kingdom Housing Association and to play our part in creating this impressive range of affordable homes as an integral part of our Viewforth development.

“Seeing tenants bring an area of the development to life is extremely satisfying, as well as a further step in delivering our master plan vision for the former Viewforth High School that is creating a fantastic new community that complements the existing local community in this area of Kirkcaldy. This has been a successful first partnership and we hope there will be further opportunities for us to work together in the future.”

Tricia Hill, development director at the Kingdom Group, added, “We know the positive impact high-quality affordable housing has on people’s lives and I’m certain our customers moving into these wonderful new homes will appreciate the high standards delivered by Whiteburn. Developing partnerships such as this with Whiteburn allows us to do more and achieve more for our customers and our communities, and during the housing emergency we remain committed to delivering affordable homes in the places they are needed most.”

Viewforth comprises 72 two, three, and four-bedroom homes for sale, and 15 affordable homes for Kingdom Housing Association. The development enjoys views of the Firth of Forth and is a short walk from Ravenscraig Park and the Dysart Harbour.
