Oakwood Edge will feature a range of new two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans, with Melville Housing Association providing 39 homes for social use on Lovell’s property.
In accordance with Lovell’s commitment to offering community benefits, the new property will include a play area alongside an art installation.
Melville Housing Association chair Donna Bogdanovic said: “This exciting opportunity, made possible thanks to Scottish Government funding and support from Midlothian Council, will allow us to help some of those on Midlothian’s huge social housing waiting list who are desperately waiting for a quality affordable home.”
This property is said to be one of the first to benefit from Lovell’s energy-efficient houses, minimising residents’ heating and lighting expenses.
