CAMPION Homes has marked the formal completion and handover of its 66-property Charleston development in Dundee.
Designed to support independent living for residents, the site has been delivered for Blackwood Homes and Care, Bield Housing and Care and Hillcrest Housing Association.
18 new homes were handed over earlier this week, officially marking the project completion.
Divided into seven residential areas, Charleston provides accessible homes that are adaptable to meet the changing needs of residents. To boost independent living, each home boasts features including solar panels, rise and fall worktops and cupboards in kitchens and advanced digital technology.
Dougie Herd, joint MD at Campion Homes, said, “This milestone marks the completion of a fantastic journey to help create more accessible homes in Dundee to enable residents to live independently. We are incredibly proud to have delivered these state-of-the-art homes for our partners at Blackwood Homes and Care, Beild Housing and Care and Hillcrest Housing Association. The successful completion of the Charleston development is a testament to the collaborative efforts of all partners involved.
“These homes will be truly transformational with each being specifically designed to be fully accessible and adaptable, with features that support independent living. This is something we care deeply about at Campion Homes and we are committed to playing our part in the delivery of much-needed accessible homes across Fife and east central Scotland.”
Simon Fitzpatrick, chief executive of Blackwood Homes and Care, added, “As the national housing crisis continues, we’re truly grateful that more technologically advanced, beautiful, accessible and affordable housing is becoming available. It is becoming even more crucial that families and individuals can access housing with facilities that enable independent living. We’re delighted to see this development come to fruition and it’s been a pleasure working with Campion Homes on this project.”
The properties were designed by architects Lewis & Hickey Ltd, with structural engineering services provided by Fairhurst. The development required over 80 workers on site, including 32 joiners and nine bricklaying squads.
