The initial phase of the Grandhome development will deliver 71 properties including detached, semi-detached and terraced homes as well as apartments to the area.

CALA said the masterplan for Grandhome has been over a decade in the making and will set the standards in terms of community creation. The size, sale and significance of the project have meant that it has been adopted as a Scottish Sustainable Communities Initiative.

The housebuilder is embracing the overall vision of the development by bringing a new product mix offering innovative design that will meet the needs of the community and homebuyers of all ages.

Mike Naysmith, managing director of CALA Homes (North), said: “This is a huge step forward in bringing Grandhome to fruition and we can’t wait to play our part in bringing a project as significant as this to Aberdeen. Everything about the design of the development has been created with community at its heart to allow residents to feel part of something of which they can be proud.

“Grandhome will open up a brand new urban location to a whole spectrum of homebuyers and will fast become a destination that ticks all the boxes. The scale of the project has been matched by a new aspirational CALA product that will open the doors to families, couples, downsizers and those looking to trade up. We look forward to bringing it to life over the coming months and adding this exciting new development to our portfolio.”

The first phase of CALA Homes within the Grandhome development will be released for sale in autumn 2017.
