Bancon Homes has completed the success acquisition of a new site in Aberdeen.

The site is located off Forrit Brae on the hillside between Newhills and Craibstone – 63, two, three and four-bedroom high specification homes will be created as part of the company's superb new Kinion Heights Development, which has already received planning consent. Homes will range in style and design and be a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced homes with parking options.

Just minutes from P & J Live, Aberdeen's state-of-the-art event complex, and 15 minutes from Aberdeen city centre, the development is part of the wider Rowett development and is the next phase of Bancon Homes' Kinion Place development which saw strong demand and previously sold out.
