Step forward for Slackbuie eco homes development
A £9.2 million development which will bring more affordable family homes to Inverness has moved a step closer to completion as the first high quality timber frames have been installed.
The new community in Slackbuie includes 69 environmentally friendly houses and flats, with construction work being carried out by Robertson Partnership Homes on behalf of Caledonia Housing Association.
Each home includes solar panels installed to provide tenants with environmentally sustainable energy.
Construction work began in April and the project is expected to be completed by this time next year – with the first residents due to move in ahead of Christmas 2020.
James Freel, the managing director of Robertson Partnership Homes, said: “As the capital of the Highlands, Inverness has established itself as a modern and desirable location, recently being named the best city to live and work in the UK.”
The project also includes wider community benefits, with Robertson Partnership Homes working closely with Inverness High School to gather ideas for a public art project and providing young people with an insight into the industry.
