CORDALE Housing Association, a subsidiary of Caledonia Housing Association, has marked completion of a 25-home development at Dalquhurn Lane in Renton.
A handover ceremony at the £5.4 million project was held on site, with new tenants Angela McKenzie and Lynda Mitchell alongside Jackie Baillie MSP, and representatives from West Dunbartonshire Council.
Construction began in October 2024, with AS Homes delivering the development, which includes 15 two-bedroom homes, eight three-bedroom homes, and two four-bedroom homes.
The project was supported by over £2.6 million in Scottish Government grant funding.
Julie Cosgrove, chief executive of Caledonia Housing Association, said, “We are pleased to support Cordale Housing Association in bringing new affordable homes to the Renton community. This is a development we committed to making happen a number of years ago and are delighted to welcome tenants to their new homes today. As ever, partnership working has helped deliver this and it’s important to express our gratitude and celebrate our achievements together with West Dunbartonshire Council and the Scottish Government. We have not yet completed the regeneration of this site, and I look forward to working with West Dunbartonshire Council and Scottish Government to develop the next phase.”
Angela McKenzie, who is moving into one of the new homes, added, “I am thrilled to be moving into my new home. It will make a big difference to me and my family. The standard of the home is excellent, and I want to thank everyone at Caledonia and Cordale. I’m pleased to be able to downsize from my existing home which allows a family to move in to make new memories.”
Lynda Mitchell, who has received the keys to her new family home, said, “It is good for me and my kids to move to a larger family home within the same area. I am really pleased with the quality of the housing development and cannot wait to move in and start afresh.”
Paul Kelly, MD of AS Homes Scotland, stated, “This development is a strong example of how government, local councils, housing associations and builders can work together to deliver sustainable, energy-efficient homes that meet the needs of families for generations to come. We’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Caledonia Housing Association on several projects across Scotland, creating high-quality homes and helping to build stronger communities. We wish all the families moving into this development the very best as they settle into their new homes.”
