A bespoke Scottish housing developer has unveiled a sustainable apartment block in Glasgow as it strengthens its green credentials.
McKernan Homes, based in Cumbernauld, says it has a strong track record of developing sustainable, luxury housing and has been trading in Scotland since 1999, and hailed the move after securing a £1.93 million funding package from Bank of Scotland.
To support its latest development in Dennistoun, East Glasgow, the business received the funding package via Bank of Scotland’s Clean Growth Finance Initiative (CGFI) which provides discounted lending to help firms invest in sustainable projects.
It will be used to introduce sustainable measures throughout each of the 24 two-bedroom flats, including solar panels on the roof, weather compensators on the boilers, electric charging points in the car park, and increased levels of insulation to efficiently retain heat.
