A project by Hillcrest Housing Association has been announced as one of Inside Housing’s Top 60 developments.

An expert panel of judges shortlisted entries to the awards down to the Top 60 schemes across ten different categories.

Hillcrest’s Oaklands development in Edinburgh has been shortlisted to the final eight in the Affordable Housing Development of the Year category.

Fiona Morrison, Hillcrest Housing Association deputy chief executive, said: “We are obviously delighted to make it to the finalist stage of such a prestigious national awards programme.

“Our dedication to maximising affordability while refusing to compromise on quality is illustrated by our Oaklands development. We provide our tenants with modern, energy efficient and desirably located affordable housing in Edinburgh at Oaklands.

“Oaklands contains homes for both social and mid market rent through Northern Housing Company, also part of the Hillcrest Group. This tenure mix allows us to offer homes to a wide range of people and families, in a number of earning brackets.”

The awards ceremony to announce the winners will take place at the start of October.
