The Aberdeenshire-based firm will build approximately 130 homes offering a variety of property types – from flats to detached homes – to first-time buyers, families, downsizers, couples and city professionals.

Malcolm Allan Housebuilders joins CALA Homes, Dandara and AJC as homebuilders for the first neighbourhood at Grandhome which is already a thriving community offering a range of different house types, from one-bedroom flats to five-bedroom detached homes. Aiming to deliver unprecedented standards in the region for quality and place-making, Grandhome is being built according to a masterplan designed by an internationally recognised team of architects in consultation with the local community, and with housebuilders respecting design principles to ensure consistent and high standards throughout.

Bruce Smith, chairman of the Grandhome Trust, said: “After more than a decade of planning, it has been very rewarding over the last few years to watch Grandhome become a thriving community with around 200 new homes. As we continue to grow, we’re thrilled to welcome Malcolm Allan Housebuilders as a new homebuilding partner.

“They are a highly reputable family-owned company with a long and strong local history having been building homes in Aberdeenshire for more than 50 years. Their traditions and values will complement Grandhome and ensure that it continues to be a place that people are proud to call home.”  

Bruce Allan, director of Malcolm Allan Housebuilders, added: “We are delighted to be working with Grandhome who share our commitment to exceptional quality, and to providing the most desirable homes in the North-East. This is a really exciting new community which is delivering on its long-held ambition to build an exemplary place with high levels of design, huge amounts of green space and a real sense of community.

“At Malcolm Allan, we appreciate the long-term view as we’ve been building quality homes for over 50 years. The key to our success has been ensuring consistently high standards across our developments and focusing on customer satisfaction, and we’re proud to be the only Aberdeenshire-based five-star rated housebuilder.”

Malcolm Allan Housebuilders is expected to be on site in autumn 2021.
