Bank of Scotland's Andy Seaton with Dawn Homes founder Alan Macdonald
GLASGOW-based premium housebuilder Dawn Homes is set to increase its presence across central Scotland and Ayrshire with the support of a £14 million funding package from Bank of Scotland.
Work has begun on a 20-unit executive development of four and five-bedroom properties in Torrance, East Dunbartonshire. Dawn plans to start building a similar 39-unit development in Kirkintilloch later this year and a 20-unit development in Howwood early next year.
Chairman Alan Macdonald said: “There’s a huge demand for premium properties across the central belt. The funding from Bank of Scotland will allow us to work towards achieving an ambitious five-year plan that will both stabilise and enhance our position in the housebuilding market.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
