MUIR Homes has commenced work on the build of 37 homes at a brownfield site in Dalgety Bay.
The development, known as Swordfish Drive, will have 26 three, four and five-bedroom homes for sale and 11 homes for affordable rent. This includes the 1,645 sq ft five-bedroom Iona with single integral garage.
The development is named after the Swordfish fighter plane that flew from the site, then known as RNAS Donibristle, during WWI and WWII. The street will be named Parr Place after local man Petty Officer Frederick Parr, one of seven men killed in March 1943 when his plane crashed shortly after take-off.
Martin Smith, chief executive of Muir Group, commented, “There is considerable demand for housing in this attractive and desirable area. As well as providing much needed homes, I am very pleased that this development will make a further significant economic contribution to the local area, including the creation of a footpath to the existing shops.
“These new homes will be completed to the highest standard and will use quality materials from the Muir Timber Systems factory, just a few miles away in Inverkeithing. I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing these homes become part of a thriving community.”
The Dalgety Bay site is currently scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
