She explained further: “Our key objective is to breathe new life into this part of Kirkcaldy and to create a great place for people to live. The regeneration of the land shows our commitment to sustainable development. We are now in the process of putting Viewforth back on the map. This is a very exciting time for the team and the local community as we get this project underway in earnest. We have had a fantastic level of interest from local people registering interest to buy a home at Viewforth.”



Toria Jones, sales manager for Viewforth, added: “I would encourage interested buyers to visit our website for the opportunity to find out more about the individual homes that we will launch for sale in just a few weeks’ time and explore the overall development layout. It is packed full of useful information including the overall development layout, as well as the floorplans and details of the individual styles of homes being built offering buyers contemporary and stylish living in Kirkcaldy.

“Demand from house-hunters is strong in the property market at the moment, and we find that providing this level of pre-launch information gives prospective house-hunters the opportunity to do their research now in order to be in as good a position reserve a new home when we launch for sale in May.”

Whiteburn Group has secured investment from Housing Growth Partnership with an injection of £1.5 million from its newly created £300m property fund for SME developers. It is also the first investment by HGP that will contribute to the delivery of Whiteburn’s new homes at Viewforth in Fife.
