“This is a fantastic development providing much‑needed family homes in our community. The area has been completely transformed and everyone at WHA is thrilled for the tenants who have such a vibrant place to call home. I would like to express my thanks to the team at McTaggart Construction who have worked tirelessly to deliver this project.”

George Adam MSP for Paisley, in a site visit, commended the energy-efficient, modern homes:

“They have a really modern design, they are very spacious, and I was very impressed with the structural elements and fittings within each new home. Williamsburgh Housing Association and McTaggart Construction have produced housing that is a credit to our town and the local community.”
He further reflected that the development sets a benchmark for affordable housing across Scotland, supported by sensible public funding
