MCTAGGART Construction has completed the first 57 mid-market rent homes at the Royston Road development in Glasgow.
The milestone marks progress in the 136-home project, which is being delivered in partnership with Swan Group. The first residents have now moved into their new homes.
“We are proud to reach this milestone,” said Janice Russell, MD at McTaggart Construction. “The handover of these first 57 homes represents not just the delivery of high-quality, affordable homes, but the creation of a community where families will build their futures. Our partnership with Swan Group has enabled us to deliver exceptional residences that meet the highest standards of modern living.”
McTaggart said the development showcases the firm’s expertise in delivering ‘contemporary residential projects that combine quality construction with thoughtful design’.
Lisa Brown, a new resident, commented, “My children and I were thrilled from the moment we saw the property, it genuinely felt like being on holiday! This home means everything to us. We’ve always dreamed of a house like this, and having the extra space and our own outdoor area is brilliant.
“The build quality is exceptional. Every detail has been finished to perfection, and you can see the time and effort that went into it. The move-in process with Touchstone was seamless, and I always get quick responses when I need them. I’m loving the area too, it’s comforting that all the neighbours are new, so we’re in this together. I’d 100% recommend New Avenue Living to others!”
Phil McGinlay, director at Swan Group, added, “We are delighted to see the first residents settling into their new homes at Royston Road. This handover represents a significant step in Swan Group’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient, affordable homes across Scotland. Working alongside McTaggart Construction and Thriving Investments, we’re proud to see our shared vision of creating sustainable, well-designed communities come to life.”
Jennifer Low from Thriving Investments said, “We’ve been really pleased to see the first families moving into their new homes and settling in so quickly at Royston Road. The feedback from our residents has been really encouraging and shows the kind of difference Thriving Investments aims to make by providing affordable homes for mid-market rent in Scotland.”
The remaining phases continue on schedule, with the site expected to be fully completed by the end of this year.
