Housebuilder Avant Homes has declared its sites across Scotland are enjoying “continued success”, while flagging its commitment to extend its presence across the central belt.
It struck the upbeat tone yesterday as it launched the first houses at four new developments, comprising 622 new-build properties in total. The projects have a gross combined development value of £169.5 million, the housebuilder said.
The four new sites are Craigowl Law in Dundee, Jackton Green at Jackton in South Lanarkshire, Carron Feld in Larbert, and Draffen Park in Stewarton.
Andrew Gawthorpe, managing director of Avant Homes Scotland, said: “We’ve seen continued success throughout our sites in Scotland and we’re pleased to maintain our commitment to building high-quality homes in desirable locations, by extending our presence across the central belt of Scotland.”

The first homes at each of these developments have been released for sale, the housebuilder said, with these houses expected to be ready for occupation this autumn.
Avant Homes Scotland has 15 developments under construction.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
