CALA Homes (East) has begun construction on the second phase of affordable homes in South Queensferry.
The development comes in partnership with Manor Estates Housing Association (MEHA) and will see the build of 25 social rent homes at its Queensferry Heights development near the First of Forth.
Cala Homes (East), in partnership with Manor Estates Housing Association (MEHA), has broken ground on 25 social rent homes at its Queensferry Heights development near the Firth of Forth.
The £4.3 million project, supported by the City of Edinburgh Council, with grant funding from the Scottish Government’s affordable housing investment programme, includes 15 one- and two-bedroom apartments and 10 three-bedroom terraced houses.
The development builds on the 19 homes that have already been built and handed over to MEHA as part of the first phase, taking the total number of affordable homes delivered across the development to 44.
The second phase of homes are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2026, providing new opportunities for families and individuals seeking affordable living in the area.
Derek Lawson, strategic land director at Cala Homes (East), said, “Given all the challenges around building new affordable homes in Scotland we are delighted to have agreed all the terms required to start work on this second, larger phase.
“Manor Estates Housing Association is based locally and has already proven to be an excellent partner to work with at this location. Together we’re able to ensure that those moving in can benefit from warm, efficient and contemporary homes, within a flourishing community.”
