Edinburgh’s leading regeneration expert The Burrell Company has appointed selling agents Savills to market 131 converted and refurbished Listed properties at the forthcoming Hawkhead Village development in Paisley.

The ambitious housing project, a joint venture between The Burrell Company and Kier Homes, will see the former hospital regenerated to provide a total of 326 residential properties including converted and new-build, set within stunning mature, landscaped grounds.

Hawkhead Hospital was designed in the new modernist style and is one of the city’s most prized historical and cultural sites. Designed in 1934 by Thomas Smith Tait, his portfolio includes the Daily Telegraph building in London, the pylons on Sydney Harbour Bridge, St Andrews House in Edinburgh and the ‘Tower of Empire’ in Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park.

Jennifer Goldie, sales manager at Savills will head up the team at Hawkhead supported by Helen Wigfield, senior sales negotiator, to market the impressive luxury homes which comprise a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments, duplexes and townhouses.

Jennifer and Helen will begin working in the sales centre at Hawkhead Village in late September.

Jennifer said: “Hawkhead Village will be an exciting new landmark for Paisley and this project is a major coup for us. I am delighted to heading up the team based at the site straight from the outset, as I’ll be able to see first hand, how these beautiful buildings will be given a new lease of life.”

Andrew Burrell, managing director of The Burrell Company said: “We have worked with Savills on a number of our developments including Schaw House in Bearsden and know that they fully understand the qualities and individuality of conversion properties.

“Hawkhead is one of the most exciting developments happening in the central belt, reawakening its 1930s Art Deco splendour matched with all the benefits of contemporary living.

“I’m confident buyers looking to invest in a new home in Paisley will be impressed with what they see.”

Since the Hawkhead Hospital buildings became surplus to requirements they have fallen into a state of disrepair, and are in some cases derelict. The Burrell Company has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in renovating old hospitals having already worked on the spectacular Drumsheugh Gardens in Edinburgh, Schaw House in Bearsden and Elmhill House in Aberdeen.

The development is located on Hawkhead Road, Paisley. The first properties are due to be released for sale later this year. For further information please contact The Burrell Company website www.theburrellcompany.co.uk or Kier Homes website www.kierhomes.co.uk.
