A total of 173 private for sale homes are being built in Phase 2, with the new development expected to complete by early 2021.

Kirsty Parry, sales & marketing manager at Urban Union, said: “Laurieston Living has been a hugely successful development since first launching several years ago and it is going from strength to strength.

“We were absolutely delighted to officially open the new phase with the help of Lynne and it is great to see that so many people are already settling into their new homes.”
