Springfield Properties鈥� contract with Highland Housing Alliance (HHA) includes an initial bulk sale of housing, followed by a design & build element.
Springfield will receive 拢4.1m for a bulk sale of housing. The design and build phase, which is worth 拢11.2m, is due to start in the coming weeks.
Springfield Properties chief executive Innes Smith said: 鈥淪ince reengaging with affordable housing providers, we have been greatly encouraged by the interest that we are receiving. Within the last eight months, we have signed contracts worth 拢40m with local housing authorities and other affordable housing providers. Alongside the design and build contract, we are pleased to have this opportunity to deliver a bulk sale that will support our overall sales rates as well as our focus on maximising cash generation.
鈥淎s well as contributing towards the Scottish government鈥檚 ambitious affordable housing targets, these homes will help meet the surge in demand for housing in the highlands with the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport expected to bring 10,000 new jobs to the area. Our strong land-holding across the highlands means we are well placed to assist with housing delivery and we look forward to working with HHA to provide these much-needed homes.鈥�
