MILLER Homes has unveiled plans to build more than 500 homes across the central belt and east of Scotland, underlining its confidence in the future of the market north of the Border.
Edinburgh-based Miller, which has 249 staff in Scotland, said the development of the 526 homes follows the acquisition of land in multiple locations. It said the homes will fulfil demands from “local people and communities which are growing and thriving.” The housebuilder, which was established 85 years ago, said work would now begin on new developments at Winton View in Tranent, Carberry Grange in Whitecraig, Station Brae in Maddiston, Victoria Wynd in Kirkcaldy, and Calderwood in East Calder. Each are said to be located “within reach of Glasgow and Edinburgh”.
The plans come after Miller, owned by private equity player Bridgepoint, boosted its land bank with the acquisition of Wallace Land Investments.

Land director David Morgan said: “These are key acquisitions, meeting the needs of local people and communities which are growing and thriving. They are all in prime locations, within reach of cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, and will provide high quality homes for families of all sizes. Current demand for new homes in these areas is incredibly high and we look forward to playing our part in what is, for many, a significant new chapter in the stories of their local communities.”
The developments will offer a range of styles and sizes, the company said.
The project at Calderwood will be the second phase of Miller’s development in the area.
Winton View will have 99 three to five bedroom homes. Station Brae will offer 72 terraced, semi-detached and detached houses; it will also offer 24 affordable homes.
