🏡 We've reached a major milestone in our £31m social housing development at Woodend Farm, Hallglen. Last month, we handed over the first 32 new homes, providing high-quality, energy-efficient housing to meet local demand. Once complete, the development will deliver 111 much-needed homes for rent. The transformation of the former livery yard and farmland site is another step forward in our commitment to increasing affordable housing across the Falkirk Council area. 💪 📖 https://lnkd.in/dhhUUE3r #AffordableHousing #SocialHousing #Falkirk #BuildingCommunities #SustainableLiving
