Leading UK housebuilder Keepmoat Homes has bought land at French Street in order to build 48 energy-efficient new houses in Dalmarnock over the next few months
The range of two-, three- and four-bedroom new houses in Dalmarnock will include energy-efficient measures such as enhanced insulation and solar PV panels. The new houses in Dalmarnock have been designed with a lifetime of low energy bills in mind.
The land was acquired in March 2022 by Keepmoat Homes from urban regeneration company, Clyde Gateway, on a partnership basis, enabling the homes to benefit from being connected to a District Heating Network, a new system that will supply low carbon heat to the full Central Dalmarnock area where the site is located.
The development, Arrolbridge – named after Sir William Arrol & Co – pays tribute to Dalmarnock’s industrial past.
Located in the heart of the district, the new houses in Dalmarnock will encircle a central green providing public open space and play area facilities. Only three miles from the bustling city centre of Glasgow, the development is in close proximity to many historic public parks.
‘Our Arrolbridge development has been designed for a new era of living’
Derek Wilson, regional managing director at Keepmoat Homes said:
“We’re thrilled to have secured this site, which is an exceptional location for homeowners, just a couple of miles away from the City Centre of Glasgow. We are looking forward to providing much needed family homes to the area. All of the homes have energy saving and environmentally friendly features for our customers, as well as being connected to the wider district heating network.”
“Our Arrolbridge development has been designed for a new era of living, with innovative and flexible home office spaces included in each property.”
Chief executive of Clyde Gateway, Ian Manson, added:
“We are pleased to be able to meet the growing demand for homes in the Clyde Gateway area with more and more people recognising the East End as a desirable place to live and work.
“Dalmarnock is perfectly located for local communities to have quick access to the city centre and first-class green spaces right on their doorstep. These quality new homes from Keepmoat Homes are a very welcome addition and we are particularly pleased that they will be connected to our new district heating network.”
Work is due to start on site in May 2022 and is due to be completed in 2023.
