Works are now 'well underway' at School Street and Dunottar Avenue.
CCG is making 'strong progress' across two major affordable housing developments in Coatbridge . Works are now 'well underway' at School Street and Dunottar Avenue. Together, the projects will deliver more than 220 new homes, supporting regeneration and investment across the town.
The construction and manufacturing group is working on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council , with the developments forming part of the council’s wider programme to deliver 6000 new homes in the region by 2035.
At School Street, the former Columba High School site is being transformed into 127 new affordable homes, including flats, semi‑detached houses, and bungalows. The development includes 22 wheelchair‑suitable homes and 57 amenity houses, designed to adapt as tenants’ needs change over time.
Built using advanced, offsite construction methods - which improve quality, energy efficiency standards and speed of delivery - the homes will feature both solar panels and EV charging infrastructure, with the first residents moving in this summer.
Work is also progressing at Dunottar Avenue in Shawhead, where 100 new affordable homes are being delivered on the site of former low‑rise flats. The development will comprise 76 houses and cottage flats and 24 flats, with 11 homes designed for wheelchair users.
The homes will have low‑carbon heating technologies, including air‑source heat pumps and exhaust air systems, while the wider site will include new community amenities such as a multi‑use games area and play park.
School Street and Dunottar represent a combined investment of £50.5m, supported by £24.8m in grant funding from the Scottish Government. David Wylie, managing director at CCG , said: 'These two developments represent a significant investment in Coatbridge and underline the strength of our long‑standing partnership with North Lanarkshire Council.
'Beyond delivering much‑needed affordable homes, both projects are creating local jobs, supporting skills and training, and generating positive social and economic benefits for the surrounding communities.
'It’s encouraging to see strong progress on site and the transformation already taking shape.'
Across both sites, construction activity has helped to create 10 new jobs and four apprenticeships, while facilitating 26 work placements, various career-based events with local schools, and £18,000 investment, ensuring the benefits of investment are felt across the community.
Alongside a third development in Viewpark , the developments will deliver 253 affordable homes by mid‑2027, underlining the strength of the partnership between CCG and North Lanarkshire Council.
James Stevenson, housing development manager said: 'North Lanarkshire Council has one of the most ambitious new council housebuilding programmes in the country and is making real progress in delivering new homes for tenants across the area.
'The two Coatbridge developments being delivered by CCG are taking shape and will not only bring modern, affordable homes to the area but will roll out benefits to the local community, including jobs, work experience placements and support for community projects.
'These new homes transform local communities and meet the needs and aspirations of our tenants now and for generations to come.'
