CORDALE Housing Association has started work on a £5.4 million development of 25 new homes at Dalquhurn in Renton.

AS Homes will deliver 15 two-bed, eight three-bed, and two four-bed houses. The project, which received over £2.6 million from the Scottish Government, is expected to be completed by August 2025.

Cordale, which joined as a subsidiary of Caledonia Housing Association (CHA) in 2013, will provide ‘much-needed, high-quality, energy-efficient and sustainable’ homes in the areas.

The Cordale Committee, CHA’s chief executive and the local Renton team visited the site to mark the beginning of works. They welcomed Dame Jackie Baillie, MSP for Dumbarton and convener of housing and communities, Councillor Gurpreet Singh Johal, from West Dunbartonshire Council.

Martin Walker, chair, Cordale Housing Association, said, “It has been a long-term vision of the Cordale Committee to develop homes and help transform the Dalquhurn area. We currently provide over 500 high-quality social homes in Renton, and I am thrilled to see us creating a fantastic new development for the community. I want to thank the whole team in getting the project underway.”

Paul Kelly, MD of AS Homes Scotland, added, “Our partnership with Cordale Housing Association will deliver high-quality, thoughtfully designed homes to benefit the Renton community for years to come. AS Homes is dedicated to building homes that have sustainability and longevity at their core, working with our partners to create new communities that continue to meet the changing needs of local people.”
