Ogilvie Construction has started building 118 new affordable homes on the site of the former Aberdeen fire station on North Anderson Drive for Sanctuary and Aberdeen City Council.

The £23 million project will provide a mix of apartments and houses, comprising one, two and three bedroom homes when it is completed in 2024.

Councillor Sandra Macdonald, Aberdeen City Council housing spokesperson, said: “It is fantastic to see that construction has started for a new affordable housing development at the former site of Aberdeen fire station. We are committed to providing more high-quality affordable housing to local residents and are pleased to be supporting this development.”
