Designed by Ayr architects ARPL, the project aims to significantly widen the choice of accommodation in the town centre.

With lift access, all the one and two-bedroom flats are designed to suit the needs of older and disabled households.

Given the busy location, privacy will be assured by a private courtyard entrance combined with roof gardens.

The Association has worked closely with the owners of the adjacent Kyle Centre to ensure that the proposal complements their own plans for a major leisure attraction.

With grant support from the Scottish Government through South Ayrshire Council, the Association is hoping to start work on the development in the spring of 2020.
