Cala Homes (West) has completed the purchase of 18 acres of land in the South Lanarkshire community of Jackton in order to deliver 126 new homes, further extending and enhancing the availability of its homes across the region.
The housebuilder has already delivered more than 200 homes at its Sequoia Meadows development.
The third phase of homes approved by South Lanarkshire Council in late April will comprise a mix of three-bed terraced, three-bed semi-detached, and four- and five-bedroom detached homes. Cala will also be introducing three- and four-bedroom townhouses which will be exclusive to this new phase of development.
Families moving into the new community will benefit from a purpose-built nursery and primary school, constructed with the support of a consortium of home builders including Cala Homes. Jackton Primary School welcomed its first cohort of pupils in August 2023.
Additionally, the development has played a vital role in improving connectivity between Jackton and nearby Lindsayfield, with an arterial spine road completed in 2023 that has subsequently reduced congestion and commute times for local people.
New cycle and footpaths have also been created to encourage sustainable lifestyles whilst also creating safer access routes to local amenities.
Graham McNeil, land & development director at Cala Homes (West), said: “We are pleased to complete the acquisition of more land within the Jackton Community Growth Area, which will ensure that Cala is well-positioned to continue our presence over the longer term in this maturing, vibrant neighbourhood. This comes at an important time given the continuing shortage of new home supply across Scotland more generally. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank South Lanarkshire Council also for their input in connection with the site’s acquisition and consent.
“Sequoia Meadows has been hugely popular with a range of buyers since it launched in 2021 and we are confident that with this latest phase of development featuring some new house types will continue to attract aspirational and discerning buyers looking for a high-quality and sustainable home.”
