Nearly 100 new homes have been built in Aberdeen.

The £13 million 99-unit scheme was delivered by CHAP Construction at Smithfield.

The scheme has been delivered as part of Aberdeen City Council's programme of investment in new homes. Elsewhere, the nearby Manor Walk site will also be completed within the next few months, providing 80 additional council houses.

City Council co-leaders Cllr Jenny Laing and Cllr Douglas Lumsden recently visited the Smithfield site to mark the successful completion of the project.

Cllr Laing said: "This week is an important milestone for Aberdeen City Council, with the ambitions for the Smithfield site realised. What was a vacant piece of land has been transformed to provide much-needed housing and is already thriving as a new addition to a well-established community.

"I know from speaking to residents that the approach to the design and construction has been welcomed by tenants and these properties will make a real difference to the lives of those who can now call Smithfield home.

"With Manor Walk also moving into its final stages, investment in excess of £26million across the two sites is helping to meet the challenges we face in the city's housing market."
