100 new affordable homes have been completed at The Crossings in South Queensferry, marking a milestone for Sanctuary Scotland as it delivers its first development in the area.
Delivered in collaboration with Lovell Partnerships, the homes at Builyeon Road comprise 64 two-bedroom flats, 16 two-bedroom houses and 20 three-bedroom homes, and form part of a wider 398-property masterplan.
All 100 properties achieve an EPC B rating and feature photovoltaic panels. They have been built using an offsite-manufactured timber-framed system made with sustainably sourced materials.
Gillian Lavety, development director for Sanctuary Scotland, said, “We are delighted to mark the completion of these 100 new homes at The Crossings, an important milestone for Sanctuary Scotland as our first development in Edinburgh. These high-quality homes fitted with energy-saving products will provide much-needed affordable housing for people and families in South Queensferry, while helping to create a sustainable and well-connected new community. We are proud to have worked with Lovell to deliver these homes and look forward to continuing to grow Sanctuary Scotland’s presence in the east of Scotland.”
The milestone was marked this week by a visit from representatives of Sanctuary Scotland and Lovell, alongside members of the Queensferry & District Community Council, who toured the site and met residents.
Tony Rankin, Lovell regional MD Scotland, said, “We are pleased to be celebrating the completion of 100 homes for social rent at the Crossings and more importantly seeing people settled into their new homes. This has been a significant project and one that Lovell is proud to have delivered alongside Sanctuary Scotland.Developments like this are about far more than the homes themselves. They’re about creating places where people want to live and where communities can grow. We would also like to thank Queensferry & District Community Council for its ongoing engagement and for sharing local insights throughout the project.”
The homes have been supported by grant funding from the Scottish Government.
