This first build phase will deliver 450 quality homes in a new area of the rapidly growing Elgin community, just one mile from the city centre. Representing an initial investment of £40 million, construction at the development is set to support up to 700 jobs, while also assisting with the delivery of Findrassie Primary School.

With full planning in place, Findrassie features a combination of two, three and four-bedroom homes all completed to the NHBC’s exacting standards.

The site will also benefit from integrated greenspace and wildlife-friendly landscaping, complementing neighbouring wood and farmland.

Speaking of the Findrassie launch, Mike Cowie, sales and marketing director at Barratt North Scotland, said: “We’re really excited to be returning to Elgin and with a significant investment in quality homes, infrastructure, schooling and jobs. Through close collaboration with the community, partners and the Barratt design teams, we’ve created a plan for an attractive and thoughtful development which residents can be proud to call home. We know there’s massive demand for new homes in the area, so we look forward to welcoming our first Findrassie residents with the first completions expected this autumn.”
