Sanctuary Scotland has completed the final phase of its Donside Village regeneration in Aberdeen, providing a further 61 new homes for local people.

Overall, the £42 million development has delivered a total of 265 new homes, with a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments including 144 available for social rent.

The new homes have been built in partnership with the Scottish Government, which awarded Sanctuary Scotland a grant of £4.7m, and Aberdeen City Council.

Sustainability has been a key factor of the regeneration, with solar panels providing electricity to the flats, an electric vehicle club, and future plans to install electric vehicle charging points.

Accessibility is also an important aspect of the project, with all of the ground floor flats designed to be wheelchair adaptable.

The new homes were designed by Haliday Fraser Muno and built by Aberdeen-based Robertson Construction Eastern.

Alan West, Chair of Sanctuary Scotland's Board of Management, said: "I'm delighted that we've completed the Donside Village Regeneration.

"It's been a major project that has really transformed the area and it’s a privilege to provide much-needed new high-quality homes for local people."
