Cala Homes has launched a multi-million-pound investment across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with work now underway on four new housing developments. The projects are expected to support over 1,000 jobs, including 600 direct construction roles, and underline Cala’s commitment to the region.

The Westhill-based housebuilder, acquired by Patron Capital and Sixth Street Partners last year, has also expressed interest in expanding its investments in North East Scotland by actively seeking additional land opportunities.

Four New Housing Projects Underway

Construction has begun on 303 homes across four sites:

  • Oldfold Village, Milltimber: 92 homes
  • Upper Lochton, Banchory: 68 homes
  • Grandhome, Bridge of Don: 76 homes
  • Silverburn, Bridge of Don: 67 homes

Ross Maclennan, Land Director at Cala Homes (North), emphasised the significance of these developments. “Purchasing and commencing work on four sites across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire in quick succession is a positive step towards bringing new homes to the region and continuing Cala’s presence in some of the most sought-after areas,” he said.

“This significant investment shows our commitment to Cala North, where demand for high-quality housing remains strong. Our land and planning team is actively seeking to invest in more sites located in desirable locations, and we have the expertise to unlock potential across the full range of planning and development opportunities.”

Future Plans to Boost Employment and Growth

Cala Homes has also secured planning permission for a further development in Inverurie, where 95 homes will be built at Conglass. This project is set to begin later in the year, promising additional jobs and further investment in the local area.

The housebuilder’s efforts highlight its role in addressing the demand for housing in Aberdeenshire while driving employment and economic growth across the region.
