McTaggart Construction and Swan Group Celebrate Handover of First 57 Mid-Market Rent Homes at Royston Road, Glasgow Development

McTaggart Construction has announced the successful completion and handover of the first 57 Mid-Market rent homes at the Royston Road development. The milestone marks great progress in the 136-home project being delivered in partnership with Swan Group.

The first residents have now moved into their new homes, creating the foundation of what will become a thriving community at Royston Road.

“We are proud to reach this milestone,” said Janice Russell, Managing Director at McTaggart Construction. “The handover of these first 57 homes represents not just the delivery of high-quality, affordable homes, but the creation of a community where families will build their futures. Our partnership with Swan Group has enabled us to deliver exceptional residences that meet the highest standards of modern living.”

The Royston Road development showcases McTaggart Construction’s expertise in delivering contemporary residential projects that combine quality construction with thoughtful design. Each home has been built to exacting standards, incorporating modern amenities and finishes that today’s homeowners expect.

The response from new residents has been really positive, with many expressing their delight at the quality and attention to detail evident throughout their new homes.

Lisa Brown, a new resident commented: “My children and I were thrilled from the moment we saw the property, it genuinely felt like being on holiday! This home means everything to us. We’ve always dreamed of a house like this, and having the extra space and our own outdoor area is brilliant.

“The build quality is exceptional. Every detail has been finished to perfection, and you can see the time and effort that went into it. The move-in process with Touchstone was seamless, and I always get quick responses when I need them.

“I’m loving the area too, it’s comforting that all the neighbours are new, so we’re in this together. I’d 100% recommend New Avenue Living to others!”

Phil McGinlay, Director at Swan Group, said: “We are delighted to see the first residents settling into their new homes at Royston Road. This handover represents a significant step in Swan Group’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, energy- efficient, affordable homes across Scotland. Working alongside McTaggart Construction and Thriving Investments, we’re proud to see our shared vision of creating sustainable, well-designed communities come to life.”

Jennifer Low from Thriving Investments comments: “We’ve been really pleased to see the first families moving into their new homes and settling in so quickly at Royston Road. The feedback from our residents has been really encouraging and shows the kind of difference Thriving Investments aims to make by providing affordable homes for mid-market rent in Scotland. The whole process with Swan Group and McTaggart Construction has been seamless, everything’s been delivered on time and to a high standard. Homes are being reserved and occupied straight away, which shows just how well the development is meeting local demand.”

The remaining phases continue on schedule, with all 136 homes expected to be fully completed by the end of this year and subsequent handovers scheduled throughout the coming weeks.
