The landmark eight-year project has delivered 443 new homes and is set to leave a lasting, positive legacy in the area. As part of the development, 57 of the 443 homes were transferred to South Lanarkshire Council to help local people in housing need.

Since construction began, the development has contributed over £2.6 million in investment to support local infrastructure and services, including education, roads, public transport, affordable housing provision, and community facilities.

The project has supported the local economy by creating a number of direct jobs, along with additional roles in the local supply chain. It has also played a vital role in developing local talent, with more than 10 apprentices gaining valuable on-site experience throughout the build. Among them is Lee Brooks, whose work helped shape the community – and whose family now proudly call Castle Gardens home.

As part of Persimmon’s commitment to the communities it builds in, thousands of pounds have been donated to local charities and groups, including the Whitlawburn Resource Centre and Friends of Cambuslang Park, through the company’s Community Champions initiative.

Craig Moore, land director at Persimmon West Scotland, said: “Castle Gardens is a great example of how long-term development, when delivered thoughtfully, can transform a site and bring real benefits to local people.

“We’re proud of the homes we’ve delivered here and the strong partnerships we’ve built with community groups, local businesses, and South Lanarkshire Council over the past decade.”
