Donside
Urban Village,
Aberdeen
Tenants
First is leading on the ambitious Donside Urban village project which will
incorporate both afforable rentable housing and new homes for sale in
addition to commercial and community enterprise initiatives. Planning
approval has been granted by Aberdeen City Council.
This is a significant
opportunity for investment in affordable housing of real quality in
Aberdeen, and the location at the River Don provides a fantastic setting.

Mart Site, Aboyne,
Aberdeenshire
The Deeside village
of Aboyne
is the setting for a new 16 home development for Tenants First. The homes
will complement the recent surrounding housing development and continue Tenants
First’s drive for the highest standards of design and energy efficiency in housing.
Discussion are ongoing with Banchory Contractors
on proposals for a scheme which achieves a high rating against the
Government's new code for sustainable homes. We hope to commence building works on site in
summer 2008.

Street, Aberdeen
We recently submitted
our planning application for a town centre flatted development at Holland Street. We are working in partnership with Inspire to
provide supported
accommodation for residents with varying needs. The design focuses on
ensuring that the building is as adaptable, energy efficient and
user-friendly as possible.
We anticipate a site
start in Autumn 2008.

Also
in the pipeline...
In March 2007 we acquired
sites from Aberdeenshire Council in the settlements of Marykirk, Macduff,
Strichen and Portsoy. These are important development opportunities for
the future programme in rural Aberdeenshire and work has commenced on
preparing planning applications.
