Work is underway on a new multi-million-pound housing development in Bishopbriggs. 

Loretto Housing Association is set to build 44 homes for social rent at Boclair Mews on South Crosshill Road in the town.

The new £7million development - which is being built by David Wilson Homes - is aiming to help save tenants money on their energy bills.

The site will also benefit from being part of an established community and within distance to local amenities.

It is expected the homes will be ready by late 2025.

They are being funded by a £2.5million investment from Wheatley and over £4.4million in grant funding through the Scottish Charitable Bond programme - which is managed by Allia C&C for the Scottish Government. 

Lindsay Lauder - Wheatley Group's Director of Development and Regeneration - said: “We’re excited work has started at South Crosshill. 

“Increasing the supply of affordable, energy-efficient homes is always great news for our tenants.

"These spacious, modern properties will make a difference to the lives of Loretto tenants for years to come. 

 “Thank you to our partners at the Scottish Government, East Dunbartonshire Council and David Wilson Homes for their support – these homes will be a great addition to Bishopbriggs.”  

David Scott, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes West Scotland, said: “Partnering with Wheatley Group to deliver this high-quality, energy-efficient accommodation further demonstrates our commitment to providing affordable homes across Scotland. 

“New tenants are set to benefit from the development’s energy efficient rating, saving them money on their monthly bills.

"We are proud to be involved in the project and look forward to welcoming residents to the South Crosshill community in 2025.”
