Clark Contracts has delivered the 12-home development in Penicuik on behalf of Ark Housing Association.

Constructed on the site of a former care home at Windsor Square, the scheme comprises 12 cottage flats for social rent — two one-bedroom properties and ten two-bedroom homes — designed to complement the local context while retaining an area of open space. Every home is equipped with air source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels.

Gerry Cummins, Director at Clark Contracts said "It was fantastic to work with new customer Ark Housing Association on the delivery of these new homes in Penicuik. In recent years our residential experience has grown, and we are excited to add this project to our portfolio."

Caryn Innes, Director of Development and Customer Experience at Ark Housing Association said "Clark Contracts have provided valuable support to Ark to complete this affordable housing development, throughout all stage of the process a partnership approach has been demonstrated and the site team built a great working relationship with Ark and Summers Inman to achieve a high quality of finish.

The project received £1.5m of support from the Scottish Government through a combination of direct grant and a donation from its Charitable Bonds programme. Further completion photographs are available online.
