A HOUSING developer has purchased 11 acres of land in Midlothian to develop brand-new family homes in the area.
Miller Homes acquired space in the Dalhousie development area from the Springfield Group, allowing for 85 houses to be built just outside of Bonnyrigg.
Sitting nine miles from Edinburgh city centre, the developers plan to construct three, four and five-bedroom residences.
The purchase will see the delivery of energy-efficient homes, with initial preparations already beginning on-site and a sales centre set to launch in autumn this year.
Land director for Miller Homes, David Morgan, said: “We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of the Dalhousie site and look forward to bringing high-quality homes to the sought after location of Bonnyrigg.
“The acquisition will allow us to continue delivering sustainable new communities in the east of Scotland and meet the increasing demand for new homes in Midlothian.
“Dalhousie Gate is in a prime location within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre and will provide high quality homes for families of all sizes.
“We’re excited to start developing this vibrant community further and work with nearby businesses and schools to integrate Dalhousie Gate and support the local area.”
Campbell Whyte, regional land director for Springfield, said: “Bonnyrigg is a desirable area with fantastic links to Edinburgh and strong demand for high-quality, energy-efficient homes.”
Work on the development will start later this year with homes ready to pre-reserve in October.
