Construction News Image
Cruden Building completed two new housing developments in Prestonpans in East Lothian on behalf of Lar Housing Trust.

The £3.2 milliion Northfields development, located near the railway station and local amenities in Prestonpans, has transformed a former derelict factory site into an attractive new community. The homes for mid-market rent comprise 22 apartments and 4 terraced houses, ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedrooms.

In tandem, homes have been completed at the £2.6m Jim Bush Drive development which has seen new life breathed into a former derelict site with 16 modern two-bedroom homes, built within a large area of newbuild homes. Two of the homes are wheelchair adapted ground floor homes and Cruden also built three retail units and landscaped communal green spaces.

Cruden has a long-standing relationship with the housing charity, previously delivering a housing project in Cockenzie in the East and Helenvale in Glasgow in the West.

Ann Leslie, Chief Executive of Lar Housing Trust said: "These two sites are a hugely important part of our portfolio, as demand in East Lothian for quality affordable homes is at an all-time high. We have enjoyed an excellent and collaborative working relationship with Cruden and we are delighted with the 42 new homes they have provided at what were previously abandoned and derelict sites. Most importantly, these stunning new developments will allow our tenants to put down roots in their local community."
