Providing a varied mixture of high quality homes for tenants, the development offers something for everyone which is reflected by the range of tenants who have since moved in.

"We will continue to work with The Highland Council to help support the build of new, quality homes which are in line with local requirements and also help attract younger generations and families to live in The Highlands."

The Provost of Inverness Cllr Helen Carmichael added: "Increasing the number of high quality and affordable homes for rent is one of Highland Council's priorities so I am delighted that our close partnership with the Highland Housing Alliance over this development has been such a success. Everyone involved should feel proud of their hard work.

"Good quality, affordable housing helps people to enjoy better health and achieve their full potential. Good housing also contributes to stronger communities that benefit everyone living in them.
