Working on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council, the development is part of the Council's plan to deliver 6,000 new homes by 2035. At School Street, the former site of Columba High School is being transformed into 127 affordable homes, including flats, semi-detached houses, and bungalows. The homes are being built using off-site construction methods and will feature solar panels and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, with the first residents expected to move in during Summer 2025.

At Dunottar Avenue in Shawhead, the project will deliver 100 affordable homes on the site of former low-rise flats, comprising 76 cottage and village flats and 24 apartments. The homes will feature low-carbon heating technologies, including air source heat pumps and exhaust air systems. The site will include new community facilities such as a multi-use games area and a play park.

David Wylie, Managing Director of CCG (Scotland), stated that the two developments represent a significant investment in Cumbernauld and highlight the strength of the long-standing partnership with North Lanarkshire Council. While delivering affordable housing, the projects are also creating local employment opportunities and supporting skills and training. Construction activity across the two sites has already helped create 10 new jobs and 4 apprenticeships, facilitated 26 work placements, and led to careers events with local schools.
