en.Wedoany.com Reported - A £42 million residential development led by UK housebuilder Keepmoat has officially broken ground in Hamilton. The residential project is located on the former site of Bell College, which previously housed the University of the West of Scotland's Almada Street campus and Hamilton Barracks.

The project is a mixed-tenure residential development plan, offering 142 properties including apartments, terraced houses, semi-detached, and detached family homes. Keepmoat is collaborating with South Lanarkshire Council to provide 36 affordable council homes, which include specialized housing for tenants with specific needs. These affordable homes are jointly funded by South Lanarkshire Council and the Scottish Government's Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The residential development plan also includes new pedestrian walkways, public play areas, and green spaces.

Tim Metcalfe, Regional Managing Director for Keepmoat Scotland, stated: "At Keepmoat, we are committed to breathing new life into brownfield sites and creating well-connected, mixed-tenure communities. Our significant residential development investment in Hamilton is a testament to this commitment. As a collaboration-first housebuilder, we are also proud to partner with South Lanarkshire Council to deliver affordable housing, creating much-needed accessible options."

Stephen Gibson, Executive Director of Housing and Technical Resources at South Lanarkshire Council, added: "These affordable homes will supplement the council's housing stock and help meet the diverse needs of residents across Hamilton. We are determined to provide high-quality housing for residents within the council area, and this is precisely what will be achieved through this residential development partnership with Keepmoat."
