Cruden has a pipeline of more than 3,500 homes across Scotland, with forecast revenues going over £1bn and an almost even split between affordable and private housing.

With 1,582 private homes and 1,554 affordable homes, this balanced delivery has been a key contributor towards Cruden’s progress, enabling it to operate in alignment with altering market conditions. 

Cruden has secured opportunities in major Scottish regeneration and placemaking projects, such as Granton Waterfront, a new £1.3bn coastal town in Edinburgh and The Village at Dalmarnock in Glasgow.

The Dalmarnock development adds to Cruden’s established relationship with the area, following the delivery of the Athletes’ Village for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. 

Cruden is also continuing to expand its footprint, gaining opportunities in new markets including Pittenweem and Elie in Fife. The housebuilder is also progressing more planning applications than at any point in its 83-year history, solidifying a pipeline that is anticipated to see over 1,000 homes start on site during the next 12-month period.

The housebuilder recently held its inaugural employee awards ceremony, celebrating staff who continue to go out of their way for the business. Cruden has also achieved five-star housebuilder status for a second consecutive year, alongside a Trustpilot rating of 4.7 out of 5.

Fraser Lynes, chief executive of Cruden said: “The housing market remains challenging, with geopolitical and economic uncertainty, affordability pressures and planning constraints continuing to impact the sector. However, we have spent a number of years building a business that is designed to perform through all stages of the market cycle. 

“Today, we have the strongest pipeline in our history and the business is in exactly the position we intended it to be. We have invested in our people, strengthened our customer offering, expanded into new markets and secured opportunities that will support long-term growth. As a result, we are entering the next chapter of Cruden from a position of confidence.”
