Some 25 social rented homes are coming to South Queensferry, from Cala Homes in partnership with Manor Estates Housing Association.
The £4.3 million Queensferry Heights development stands near the Firth of Forth, while it’s supported by the City of Edinburgh Council with grant funding from the Scottish government’s Affordable Housing Investment Programme.
There are 15 one- and two-bedroom apartments and 10 three-bedroom terraced houses.
Derek Lawson, strategic land director at Cala Homes (East), said: “Given all the challenges around building new affordable homes in Scotland we are delighted to have agreed all the terms required to start work on this second, larger phase.
“Manor Estates Housing Association is based locally and has already proven to be an excellent partner to work with at this location. Together we’re able to ensure that those moving in can benefit from warm, efficient and contemporary homes, within a flourishing community.”
Some 19 homes have already been built and handed over to the association as part of the first phase, taking the total number of affordable homes delivered across the development to 44.
The second phase of homes are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2026, providing new opportunities for families and individuals seeking affordable living in the area.
The development features energy-efficient homes and integrated green spaces.
Amanda Hay, property services director with Manor Estates Housing Association, said: “Our goal is to create safe, sustainable communities, and this project is an excellent example of what can be achieved through collaboration with Cala Homes and support from the Scottish Government and the City of Edinburgh Council.”
