We are very pleased that 33 homes at An Allt Dubh were handed over to tenants during the past week. This is the first phase of a 74 house development being built by Calmax Construction Limited who contended with a very wet and challenging summer to bring this phase of construction to completion.

This was a joint project with TIG enabling 12 homes to be built, 8 for rent and 4 for rent to buy. Macinnes Bros Ltd, a Uist based company constructed these high-quality homes with the majority of funding coming from the Scottish Government. The Comhairle provided a grant of £130,000 from the ACTISH fund and the remainder was borrowed by HHP and TIG. As part of community benefit, MacInnes Bros provided £2,000 to the North Uist U12s girls Athletics team to participate in the National Finals in Glasgow in 2023.

Jens Johansen one of our new tenants expressed his gratitude: “The house and view are perfect, I’m so happy.”

Gordon MacLeod, Chairperson of HHP commented: “This first phase of 33 homes at An Allt Dubh is testament to the collaborative efforts with the Scottish Government who supported the development with funding of £9.5million. The exceptional quality of these homes is down to the skilled workmanship of Calmax Construction Limited and our shared commitment to community development. The milestone marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing quality homes and we look forward to the continued growth and positive impact this project will bring to the area.”
