Link Group break ground on 82 affordable Fort William Homes
February 23 2022
Link Group have broken ground on 82 affordable homes designed by Stallan-Brand at Upper Achintore, Fort William, as part of an overall masterplan for 319 homes in the area.
Led by the JR Group, WGC and TSL Contractors the project will deliver a mix of terraced homes, cottage flats and two wheelchair-accessible bungalows on an elevated site overlooking the town below.
The 23-hectare site was acquired by the affordable housing provider in 2019 to establish a new residential neighbourhood, predominantly consisting of terraced housing finished in timber boards.
Sitting at the foot of Ben Nevis properties will adopt a palette of greys, reds and greens inspired by the landscape with 'marker' buildings positioned at key locations through bolder colours and additional articulation.
A green corridor through the centre of the site that will provide east-west pedestrian links with development focussed along the perimeter.
Judicious use of colour will add local interest and seeks to avoid a generic 'housing estate' appearance
Upper Acjintore is a 10-minute walk to the town centre at its closest point
