BARRATT Developments North Scotland recently welcomed Chris Law, MP for Dundee Central, to its Keiller’s Rise site to showcase the transformation of the former Keiller Marmalade production plant.
The factory site, which was left derelict in the mid-1990s, has seen Barratt Homes transform the brownfield land into 223 housing units.
Mr Law was invited to take a tour and see how the development’s new-build homes will benefit the Dundee community, with 45 couples and families having already moved in since the site was launched in December 2022.
During the visit, Mr Law met with Chris Ross, development director, Kevin Urquhart, construction director, Dave Oliver, contracts manager, and Scott Reekie, site manager, all of whom have been integral to the planning and delivery of homes on the development.
Chris Ross said, “It was a pleasure to welcome Mr Law to Keiller’s Rise, in what was an enjoyable and highly useful visit. This was an excellent opportunity to showcase how we’ve transformed the brownfield land into a sustainable and welcoming community of high-quality energy-efficient homes, and to discuss the successes and challenges that have come with breathing life back into the site. We look forward to continued collaboration and dialogue with Mr Law and other stakeholders to ensure the success of our developments in the Dundee area and beyond.”
Chris Law, MP for Dundee Central, commented, “It was fantastic to see the transformation of the historic Keiller’s marmalade factory site into a vibrant community of much-needed, high quality-homes. It’s encouraging to witness the progress made by Barratt Developments in creating a sustainable and welcoming environment that will benefit both current and future residents of Dundee.”
Keiller’s Rise features three and four-bed detached, semi-detached and terraced homes as well as two-bed apartments.
