CLARK Contracts has announced that its housing division has started work to complete the construction of a £35.5 million residential development for Falkirk Council.
The project is being delivered in two phases, with the first phase providing 106 new homes alongside associated roads, services and landscaping to support a second phase of a further 31 properties.
Located in Denny, the scheme will provide a mix of homes for social rent, including one, two, three, and four‑bedroom properties. 25 of the homes will be constructed to enhanced accessibility standards for residents with mobility issues, while seven properties will be designed specifically for wheelchair users. Sustainability features include solar panels.
The project has been supported by £12.6 million in funding from the Scottish Government, alongside £1.2 million from developer contributions.
Kenny Gillespie, Falkirk Council’s head of communities, innovation and housing, said, “There is a high demand for housing across the Falkirk area and this new development will help those with the highest housing needs. All of the properties will be built to the most modern standards offering tenants a home that will offer a high-quality residence in the heart of the local community.”
Michael Scanlan, director at Clark Contracts, added, “We are delighted to be working once again in partnership with Falkirk Council on a development that will deliver much‑needed new homes for the area. This project represents an important step in the continued growth of our housing division, and we are proud to be creating a lasting benefit for the Denny community, with a positive impact that will be felt for years to come.”
