MILLER Homes has acquired 91 acres of land across multiple locations in the east of Scotland, with work set to start on the delivery of 676 new homes over four developments.
The housebuilder will begin work on new developments at East Calder Oaks, East Calder; West Craigs Mews, Edinburgh; Miller Homes at Shawfair, Midlothian; and Avonside Wisp, Whitecross. These projects follow the launch of Dalhousie Gate in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian last year, which marked the first in the series of strategic land acquisitions.
The East Calder Oaks site will feature 67 four and five-bedroom detached properties, plus 23 affordable homes. West Craigs Mews will comprise 92 homes, including two and three-bedroom terraced, three and four-bedroom townhouses, and four and five-bedroom detached homes, as well as 49 affordable homes. Miller Homes at Shawfair will feature 176 two and three-bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached properties and four and five-bedroom detached homes, plus 44 affordable options. Avonside Wisp in Whitecross, Falkirk will comprise 169 three, four and five-bedrooms styles, and 56 affordable homes.
Miller Homes estimates that the four new developments will support around 2,349 jobs.
Gary Heaney, regional operations director at Miller Homes, said, “The acquisition of these four sites marks a significant step in our long-term commitment to creating sustainable, thriving communities across the east of Scotland. By investing in areas where people genuinely want to live, we’re striving to shape integrated neighbourhoods that our buyers will be proud to call home for generations to come.
“With continued strong demand for high-quality new homes in and around Edinburgh, we’re looking forward to playing a part in the next chapter of these already thriving local communities.”
The first homes at Miller Homes at Shawfair will be ready by October 2025, followed by East Calder Oaks and West Craigs Mews in February 2026 and Avonside Wisp in March 2026.
