The development will deliver 24 new properties in total, 18 of which are available for social rent, whilst the remaining 6 are part of the Scottish Government’s New Supply Shared Equity Scheme.

The £4.1 million project was designed by Visio Architecture and constructed by E&H Building Contractors Ltd under a design and build contract, with £2.5m being provided by the Scottish Government.

Locals will have an opportunity to view a number of the properties tomorrow between 2pm and 4pm, with Hjaltland staff on hand to answer any questions.

These properties will be available to apply for from today and all expressions of interest must be submitted before the deadline of 2pm on Tuesday 29th October.

Hjaltland said the completion of the project further demonstrates the Association’s ongoing commitment to supporting communities throughout Shetland.

Within its five-year business plan, further developments are planned for Sandwick, Gulberwick, Walls, Scalloway, Aith, Brae and Lerwick.
